Diapers!!
O.k. - this is the week. My colleagues have been on me to produce a story on the environmental impacts of diapers. Partly because I have two little ones at home and partly because I trend toward the scatological beat. Oh, and partly because I said I would do the story THREE YEARS ago! And they have never let me forget it. So here goes - (isn't this going to be great?!) - the long awaited, and long avoided 'diaper diaries' coming up on the E-Report! One reason I've avoided this story is that there doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer. Which is better? Disposables or cloth? - most say it's a wash. Which do you prefer?

The simple answer is that both have drawbacks. Let us face it, having children is not good for the environment at most levels. However, if they inspire us to go further to save the planet for them ... or the fact that we know diapers are not good on the green score card and so inspire us to over compensate in other areas ...
My fave part was when your little boy spoke-up and told his mother that with cloth diapers they wouldn't have to throw them away. Very cute.
