I listened to a podcast once where the fellow was talking about the advantage/disadvantage of using disposables vs. washables. He didn't talk about diapers exactly, and I know they fill up the landfills and will never decompose, but he said first that he wasn't taking a position, that everyone would do what they wanted and he wasn't an advocate in either direction, but after much study it turned out, at least from his research, that it was a wash whether one uses disposables or non and washes them using water, energy, etc. Just something to consider. I'm not taking a position either one way or the other. Just offering that up for thought.
