The Diaper Debate: Ten Years Later:
-- In the decade or so since the Lehrburger and Little studies (see Which Is Better for the Environment?
), the debate on the diaper issue seems to have all but died out. The only thing new in the debate is that it's not a profound debate at this point,
says Janet Primomo, RN, PhD, a member of the King County Nurses Association in Seattle, which initiated a series of projects in 1987 to educate parents and policy makers about choices in diapering.

Why Disposable Diapers are Dirty and Dangerous:
-- According to a 2010 study, one-third of U.S. mothers are cutting back on basic necessities (such as food, utilities, and childcare) to buy diapers for their children. But as much as disposable diapers cost individual families, they cost us even more as a nation and as a planet.
