excuse my spelling errors, ahaha. I would have gone back to fix them but, ehh. And,being lazy is a great reason to cloth diaper. I got tired of my husband complaning about going to the grocery store every 12 days to spend nearly $50 to keep two babies in diapers and wipes. So, I went cloth and didn’t have to hear him yammer on about not feeling like going. Bonus, I made a deal that he keep all the money we didn’t use on disposable to go to buy our new house. everything worked out.

You know you’re wrong about them not helping the enviroment. Okay you wash more, that’s true but, like the other poster said water is a reknewable resource. Those disposable diapers that you dump out take a good 10 yrs or more to decompose. And, yes their is 1, ONE disposable diaper that can be decomposed faster than the others but, more money from your pocket = less buys. So, why not go cloth. Plus, if you have sewing skills you can even reuse material laying around your house(t-shirts, flannel blankets, towels etc) to make cloth diapers or buy special material and make your own as well. Recycling has to be good for the enviroment right? The less you throw away the less polluting our earth, building up in landfills. After that, I choose it for the cuteness, Who doesn’t want their child running around with flowers, and daddy loves me diapers instead of the old hoo hum animal prints that pampers or huggies constantly gives. To add to that, you can sale cloth diapers after using them, they have a high retail value. Buying cloth diapers for between $1 - $18 each you can dye them, paint them or embordier them and get 2-4X’s what you spent. Doesn’t that sound like it cost alot less than disposeables, you pay approx .48cent for one diaper then toss it in the trash.

Cheap and lazy is a wonderful reason to use cloth diapers. Especially if its tough to get to a store. And for those that use cloth, do you bleach them or do you use oxyclean?

You actually don’t have to wash the diapers twice and if you have enough diapers that you can wash only when you have a full load you will use less water. You can also dry them on the line to save electricity. It can be more environmental but it takes a lot more work. I cloth diaper because I’m cheap and lazy and love when people give me shit about it not being any better for the environment than disposable. I know, I don’t care.

Again, the UK government did a study that proves this is not the case. But the article would have us all believe that using cloth diapers is a necessary part of adopting a “green lifestyle” and that is not the truth. The green movement is a political agenda to force Americans to stop using technology.

Environmental conservation helps our environment. We use fewer resources and produce fewer pollutants and less garbage. So, she used cloth diapers because they use fewer resources and produce fewer pollutants and create less garbage. That’s conservation. And as an added bonus she saves some money. Where’s the political agenda?

Elizabeth,
I am all for environmental conservation.

As humans, we of course need to be good stewards of the earth. But leftists are pushing an environmental agenda for political purposes using bad science. This woman could have claimed any other reason to choose cloth diapers. but when she says it helps the environment she is a liar.

Pat, how do you feel about religious groups encouraging environmental responsibility using the argument that your world was given to you by God and you should care for it accordingly?

Actually, there are disposable diapers that are good for the environemnt and decompose in just a few months.. They even have green tea extract in them to hide the smell..

Unfortunately, they cost a few more bucks per pack.. No idea if the manufacturing process actually polutes the environment though.
