I have to agree with the fact that alot of the stuff that we buy comes in plastic and I'd imagine the majority of the time we don't recycle. I don't know why when I was younger there was so much talk about recycling and now there isn't. Yes disposable diapers aren't biodegradable but cloth diapers can be just as bad. First you have all the cloth which was to be manufactured into a diaper, then you have to have water, soap, and electricity to wash them. Then you gotta dry them. You call using gas eco-friendly (um hello gas comes from production facilities which still emit CO2.) Plus if your using a laundry service your releasing CO2 to pick up the diapers at the consumers place and then to drop em back off. Yes, something needs to be done about GHG but quite frankly we live in an industrialized world where the US doesn't give a damn about GHG. The biggest polluters are VEHICLES, and INDUSTRIES. Oh yea cloth diapers break down over time with use so you eventually have to buy new ones and you still have to use chemicals to clean em.
I wear disposables cause laundry costs are prohibited with my income. Anyways my 2 cents.
