Ethics, Values, and Cloth Diapers

I have to differentiate between values and ethics. Trust me, this relates to parenthood, especially in Portland. Values are variable as one's station in life changes. When I was in college, I valued, free time, independence, and my friends. When I was married, I valued "being an adult," supporting my wife, maintaining a job, etc. As a parent, and even when while Casey was pregnant, my values shifted away from personal gain and enjoyment and, instead, toward supporting my daughter and securing her future (as much as I can.)
Being a good steward of creation, reducing waste, eating sustainably, and other environmental concerns (typical Portland) are not mine and Casey's values. Those are part of our ethics. Ethics don't change so easily. They are a part of what we believe is right and honorable. Here's an equation to illustrate: (ethics + station in life = values) It is because of our ethics that we do not eat fast food. It is because of our ethics that we fanatically recycle. It is because of our ethics that we use cloth diapers. My mother doesn't believe that we will stick with cloth diapers. At least, she didn't think we would. It's been almost a month and we still use them. We don't see it as inconvenient. We use cloth diapers because we can't, ethically, use disposable. If other parents want to, I won't judge them (too much), but we simply can't do it.
I'm on the wrong computer to post any good pics of Sesame. I'll try to get a recent one up sometime this week.
