Speaking backstage at Live Earth in New York on Saturday, singer Dave Matthews said he and wife Ashley have chosen to cloth diaper their third child, son August Oliver, 3-weeks. 

I think diapers might be the No. 3 piece of garbage [in terms of environmental damage]…so if you have a little cloth diaper service nearby, that’s good.

Dave said that he and friend Julia Roberts — who welcomed her third child, Henry Daniel on June 18, just one day before August was born — have exchanged outfits for their new babies.  According to Dave, the decision to go green was an easy one to make after he became a father.

If you can imagine in 50 years how you face your children, if you can’t at least say ‘Well, we tried to turn the world around.’  I think it’s an effort we should make, and the evidence is growing.

Dave and Ashley already have twin daughters Grace Anne and Stella Busina, 5 1/2.
