It is true that laundering diapers dumps just as much waste into the environment as disposable diapers (the waste only goes through the sewer system instead of a landfill). But we used cloth diapers for our kids. Not out of a sense of being environmentally conscious but for convenience. Instead of lugging home huge packages of diapers from the supermarket and dealing with smelly trash, we had clean ones delivered twice a week and all we had to do was put the used ones on the porch in a deoderized bag. Also, I'm sure the cotton feels better to a baby than that plastic crap. I was so glad to be rid of diapers but now that the kids are becoming teenagers, I'll go back to those days in a heartbeat.

The disposable diapers now days are so much improved! They don't even have plastic outsides anymore. I almost miss those because it was easy to tell when the kid was wet. Now you have to practically undress the kid to tell if the diaper is wet because the finger test won't work anymore. In fact, there have been a lot of improvements in baby products in just the past 5 years.
