What do you think your grandmother and great grandmother used before disposable products were available? Also, what's the difference between these and cloth baby diapers that are considered better for the environment?

Actually, I think disposable nappies are actually better (by certain measures) when you factor in the washing and drying required.

I'm pretty sure you're right, Ken, when you take into account the chemicals used to both manufacture and then launder them cloth nappies are only slightly less green - it's much of a muchness really.

Ah of course lol - I think the Nth Americans call them diapers - though what that word actually means I'll never know. "Nappies" is short for napkin.

It's exactly what you imagine. Also, it would make more sense if the product were available in..er.. a specific color. Then you could use less detergent too!

This has been an interesting post if only to see the reactions of some of you guys - I wonder do you watch any crime based shows or horror shows which show blood all over the place? You're hysterical teehee! Hmm wondering if I should remind you all bathed in that blood for 9 months MUWAHAHAAA!! Hope that didn't freak you out ...

You can save water by using it multiple times before you wash it. That's what my grandmother and great grandmother used to do.

Just more proof how silly the so-called green movement can be sometimes.

The only reason why I agree with your comment (as I know you don't even believe in global warming) is that the biggest single way an individual can go green is to go vegetarian. Everything else in comparison matters very little, even driving a car.

Interesting thought actually. I do wonder if eating less meat would be good for our planet. Well, we would be able to avoid cutting down so many old growth forest for raising cattle.

It comes down to how many resources it takes to produce a kilogram/pound of meet compared to a kilogram/pound of vegetables. There is just no comparison. It takes exponentially more resources to produce one hamburger patty than the equivalent weight of soybeans.
In the U.S., 80% of all produce is fed to livestock.
Clean water will become a very scarce commodity sometime this century, and runoff from factory farms is a very large polluter of water.

Well、I must admit that I have cut down on meat since moving to Japan. I have actually lost about 10 lbs and I sleep a little better at night.
80 percent of all produce fed to livestock is a little shocking. Although, I know first hand that most Americans do not like to eat vegetables.
Those factory farms are always bad news. I remember one that was located on the side of a mountain back in WV. No animals would go near the place.

Agreed. Balance is missing. Lets live in cardboard homes and sit on recycled fire hydrants and use old plastic crates for tables.
