DISPOSABLE DIAPER DEBATES
by joy
(methuen, ma)
The disposable diaper debates that I have read have given me enough knowledge and information that I feel extremely guilty every time that I put myself in a position to need to use a disposable diaper rather than cloth.
The idea that I have created an unnecessary piece of trash will still be in a landfill in 500 years is horrifying to me! Therefore I have made a commitment to do my best to try and cloth diaper my baby as much as possible so that my son can live in a cleaner world.
From the Webmaster:
Joy, I know exactly what you are talking about. There are times when it's just easier to grab that disposable diaper. And then when I put my .02 in the ongoing disposable diaper debate that cloth is so much better I feel that guilty feeling like I cheated on a test. The fact is that we all just have to do the best we can.
