One more environmental kook myth shot down in flames.
I can remember the outcry over disposable diapers and all the 'experts' telling us to use the cloth ones...turns out they were full of...the same stuff that's in the diapers. LOL :laugh:

The great real nappy myth - they are just as bad for the environment as disposables, admits Minister
03.07.07
The organisation aimed to save 35,000 tons of landfill every year by persuading mothers to use and wash towel nappies.
For years it was drilled into parents that disposable nappies were environmentally unsound.
They could show their green credentials, they were told, by jumping back a generation or two and using the washable towelling version.
Those who didn't were made to feel they were putting convenience before the future of the planet.
But after a three-year campaign that has cost taxpayers at least £30million, it has been decided that the two types have the same impact on the environment.
