parkview baptist the ecology of
diapers
by robert moskowitz let?s talk
diapers
. those soggy, smelly, poopy
diapers
that babies keep generating are majorly affecting our
environment
. but, there are ways we can lighten their impact. whether it?s disposable, reusable, or hybrid
diapers
, scientists have studied them all and have come to a resounding impasse. no one can definitely prove that one diapering technology is more or less ?harmful? to the
environment
than another. in fact, the whole picture is shot through with shades of gray. a study conducted by the
environment
agency found that all three diapering choices have about the same overall
environment
al impact?but in different ways. disposable
diapers
are dirtiest to manufacture, home- laundered
diapers
require much more energy to clean, and commercially laundered
diapers
burn extra fuels and generate significant amounts of emissions during pick up and delivery. every diapering choice somehow impacts the health of our planet, however, there are ways to help make the
diapers
a little greener. the trick is to reduce the heaviest
environment
al impacts of whatever
diapers
you
use
, by such means as: ?
use
fewer disposable
diapers
and favor those brands that are made with ?greener? materials ? conserve energy when washing and drying cloth
diapers
. ? arrange for fewer diaper service deliveries to conserve. from the earth?s point of view, it?s not all that important which kind of
diapers
you
use
. what makes this really special is that you were blessed with a little one. ? 2 0 1 9 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 5 7
