RE: Little Changes, Big Difference: Cloth Diapers
I started out using cloth diapers but my son ended up having sensitive skin and the diapers from the diaper service kept giving him a rash. There's no longer a diaper service even available around here anymore even if parents wanted to opt for a service. Our trash goes to a waste to energy facility where it gets burned...but one still has to wonder if their system catches all the burn off from burning so many different type of garbage.
When i owned a diaper service, i used to really push other services to use really simple stuff to clean, but some still insisted on chemicals. Of course some babies are just very sensitive. One thing i used to do is offer a liner that was disposable that could be used with cloth and would keep baby drier. Still something disposable but much less, and they were flushable! I sold my service when we moved, and i was just crushed when the people who bought it closed it. It's such a valuable service.
I do like the waste to energy facilities. It's such a good idea. I wonder about all the burn off too, though. Burning plastic is so nasty. And i dont even wanna think about burning all that gel stuff. I used to live next door to these people that burned old tv sets. Honestly. It was super gross.
