The Wall Street Journal’s blog, The Juggle, recently posted an article highlighting the controversial cloth vs disposable diapering choice. Many parents exploring diapering today find themselves overcome by the number of options and the environmental issues addressed in the arguments for and against cloth diapering. The comments following the post provide thought provoking observations.
Hopefully parents will use this information to explore their choices and realize the many benefits associated with cloth diapering.
What are your opinions about the diapering options available?

Have you tried them?

BTW, bamboo doesn’t require fertilizer, pesticides or chemicals to grow, it’s also one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. Bamboo consumes around 45% more carbon then other types of trees that use the same amount of space. These are some of the reasons bamboo is considered to be a “green” alternative!

What is being “green” these days?  There is so many small things we can all do everyday that can make a collective difference in the world around us.  Our actions themselves make a difference – and the example we set for our kids compounds our efforts as others learn from us.  Consider all your everyday activities and take steps to reduce and re-use, turn off extra electrical appliances and consolidate your driving errands.
