This is an interesting video highlighting the advantages for the environment of using cloth nappies over disposable nappies/diapers and at the same time saving money.
Personally, I feel that nappy manufacturers could do more for the environment by using biodegradable materials for disposable nappies, they would naturally decompose once exposed to the environment.
Additionally cloth nappies are useful for the environment because the cloth can be recycled once the nappies are no longer required.

There are certainly lots of benefits of cloth nappies - take a look at the page on our site, UK Energy Saving - http://www.uk-energy-saving.com/reusable_cloth_nappies.html.
ReplyDeleteI personally use them for my baby and have found them to be reliable and soft on the skin and havn't found the extra washing a problem.
Well, when I was born, there was no such thing as disposable nappies. My dad used to tell me about how he and my mum had to wash them...LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's quite funny when you think about it.
And, to think we didn't get any diseases or problems after recycling those towel looking nappies with the large safety pins!
