Disposable diapers account for no more than one percent of landfill contents by weight and about 1.4% of landfill volume, according to those who actually do archaeology of landfills. Citation upon request.

"Newspapers are the biggest long-term pollution in landfills."
That's pretty ironic, when you think about it...

Odd. I know that most diaper 'innards' now will gel and break down very quickly...especially after it gets wet. As far as the plastic outside goes, that is less plastic than a plastic spoon for a picnic. If they are griping about that, they are nuts. Our cars leave more rubber on the road after driving for a week on pavement.
