Cloth Diapering To Save The World

Ok that *might* be a little overzealous, but you get my drift. You’re in it to save some landfill space, cut down on the production of dioxins…really, the cloth vs. disposable diaper politics can be pretty confusing. For our purposes, I’m going to assume you agree that cloth diapers are the greenest option in diaper choice.

I do think that all cloth options are preferable to disposable, but if you’re really hard-core environment-friendly, yesterday’s discussion of enviro-concious choices covered the bases pretty well.

The only thing I could really add to that would be organic diapers. These are not the most pocket-book friendly option in many cases, but seeing as how cotton is one of the world’s most pesticide intensive crops, your choice may not be as silly as some may think.

It may or may not make a difference to your baby’s skin (some say yes, some say no), but it clearly makes a difference in run-off polution…not to mention the health of farm workers. So if your wallet can take it, “go organic”.
