  • @joryjory I haven't really felt like they were much more effort than disposables, and they're actually much safer for babies, too, because they don't contain the skin-irritating chemicals that disposables do. Besides that, it's more than just the landfill waste--it's the difference between sewing a piece of cloth to make twenty or so diapers, and melting a vat of chemicals in a huge, chem-chugging factory to make thousands. You have to look at it from all sides!

  • Cloth diapers the best for cleaning around the house with.

  • I know disposal diapers can give a baby a poor rush...when using cloth diapers is it the same or better for there soft,gentle skin?

  • hmm...that's good to know joryjory. we compost our yard waste, veggie/fruit waste in our backyard compost bin and have been using cloth napkins for over a year now. Now, we're going to venture into cloth diapering too. :) Every little effort people make counts.

  • Did you know that the EPA recently released a survey of national landfils showed that diapers only took up approximately 1.5% of landfill mass? You would be a lot more environmentally effective to decrease your paper and yard waste, as these make up approximately 49% of landfill waste. Like you said, landfills do not provide an environment to allow decomposition, so literally, leaves dumped 50 years ago still haven't decomposed. Cloth diapers are a lot of effort, and there are better ways.
