It doesn't do anything, no. I agree on that one. I didn’t even think of participating, even though I recycle and am unreasonably excited I am getting a brown bin …

We were watching Bolt. :) I would cloth diaper if J were on board with it, but only if I could get a service to deliver and pick up. As it happens, one opened up a week after E was born, but by that time, we decided to use disposables. For $40, we can get almost 300 @ Costco, so it actually costs me less to use them. As for overpopulation - that's a myth. The planet could easily sustain 5-10 times the population that we have today, but because of corruption food does not get into the hands of people that desperately need it, and because of wastefulness/weird tax laws and other stupidity, tons upon tons of food are thrown away daily in the US alone.
