Julia Roberts takes to the enviromental cause like a baby to nappies

Celebrity interviews are usually outlets for exposing sordid sex scandals or discussing a view on the war in Iraq, and yet for Julia Roberts, the December issue of Vanity Fair was a means for revealing her nappy of choice. And why is that important? Because they're eco-friendly and chlorine-free.

In what must be a huge smelly blow to Pampers, Julia said she used Seventh Generation Nappies for her twins. Being chlorine-free, there's less pollution created in their production, as well as less potential for chlorine-related problems - let's face it, it's not the nicest of chemicals.

Obviously, they're not as green as the terry towelling reusable nappies of the past, but they're definitely better than standard disposable nappies. And being endorsed by the lady who played modern day crusader Erin Brockovitz means something, maybe.

Seventh Generation Nappies cost from £11.50 for a pack of 56, and they're available from online ethical retailer Green Face.
