  Saving space in landfills is great but, it still isn't as good as using cloth diapers. They still need to be manufactured which uses raw materials made from petrolium (plastics) and trees, and produces pollution from the manufacturing plant. Then they are boxed and transported - more polution. Then when they are recycled, you are using more electricity and water, and creating more pollution. I have been using the same 24 diapers for two years. That's only 24 diapers that had to be manufactured and transported instead of the roughly 5800 disposable diapers I would have gone through by now. Yes, I am using some water and electricity to do one extra load of laundry every three days, but as I just pointed out, recycling uses electricity and water too. Recycling is great - but it is a last resort when you can't reduce instead.

  awesome idea...and jk is right about using cloth diapers but some people just don't have the time so this is a great solution to the problem.
