For eighteen years, the clothes, toys, furniture, equipment and creations of your child will be like flotsam and jetsam flowing into your home. Or perhaps flooding into your house is more accurate. The sheer volume of clothes, toys and art projects alone, to say nothing of car seats, strollers, bikes, rollerblades, skis, ice skates - well, we're talking a lot of stuff, and potentially a lot of money, manufacturing waste and eventual trash! If you have two children, that's almost twice the impact.
