Dave Matthews talks diapers for Environment

Published July 10, 2007

Almost three years after the Dave Matthews Band tour bus dumped liquid waste onto a boat on the Chicago River (they said they were sorry!), the front man is talking about poop again. This time it has to do with his infant son, August, who Matthews says is being raised green: He wears reusable cloth diapers.

"We use cloth diapers for our new baby because I think diapers might be the No. 3 piece of garbage [in terms of environmental damage]," Matthews said at a Live Earth news conference after the band's performance Saturday in New Jersey, People.com reports.

August Oliver is the third child for Matthews and his wife, Ashley Harper. He was born at the family's home in Seattle on June 19. August has twin sisters Stella Busina and Grace Anne, 5.

Has Matthews arranged a play date with close friend Julia Roberts, who recently had her third baby, Henry? "We've got outfits that we've exchanged," he says. Maybe he sent her some cloth diapers too.
