How can I encourage my bedwetting kid to “go green” by wearing cloth diapers to bed instead of disposable?

My 10 year old son wets the bed. We tried all the cures–nasal spray, etc. but the doc says time is the only foolproof cure and that most kids stop before puberty. Anyway, my question is about going green. He’s been wearing Goodnites, the pullups for bedwetters, but we’re going green so I want him to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants. He’s reluctant. It takes more to pin them on, whereas the Goodnites he just slipped on and off. If he wakes up in the middle of the night and hasn’t wet, going to the toilet is tough because he has to unpin the diaper and then repin it when he’s done. and all this in a groggy state. Also they’re a lot thicker than Goodnites, so it makes him waddle. But we only have one planet and we have to protect it! I know it’s hard for him to think about the global ramifications; he’s worried about things closer to home. So how can I get him to see how going green is an important thing that personally effects each and every one of us?
