These are not cloth diapers. Oh bother. They are better for babies bum maybe (being that they are not made with harsh chemicals) but not better for the earth. And you definitely can NOT wash them.

Their singular environmental benefit is that they are not chlorine (dioxin producing) bleached, which is means that the production is less polluting than the production of regular disposables. But otherwise, they're pretty much the same. They contain the SAP (super absorbant polymer) that has been linked to several health problems, just like Huggies or Pampers.

There is a great article in Mothering Magazine that says it uses twice the water and three times the energy to manufacture and use disposable diapers. It also goes on to give dozens of other reasons why cloth is much better for the environment. If you do a little research, you will find a lot of info like this out there. Basically, it takes about as much water to wash cloth as the amount of flushes it would take if the baby was potty trained. Plus, cotton can be organically and safely grown, where the disposables produce toxins when they are made, and they have chemicals which are on your baby's body all the time. These chemicals are suspected of causing all sorts of health problems...I could go on and on! I have read a lot about the water consumption issue.

I'm on the fence about cloth/water consumption vs. disposable/landfill. How about resuable bags?? Thank goodness Whole Foods is banning the plastic bags soon. Good going on the diapers….

Of course there's the debate about overall impact of sposies vs. laundering cloth. I wish more celebrities did the latter, publicly at least. 7th Generation diapers are also chlorine-free diapers.
