The co$t of Diapers in a different way.

So what is the cost of diapers to you? If you are like everyone else, you remember the price of disposables from a flier or walking down the isle of your grocery store. If you want to compare apples to apples then you need to really compare an apple to an apple.

     *  A disposable diaper uses 1 cup (250ml) of oil to get to the store that you might buy it at. You will use it for about 3 hours then throw it away into your plastic garbage bag. That garbage bag will be thrown into the garbage can, then wheeled to the curb and then into the big truck on it's final journey to the landfill. So what it the cost of all this? about $0.36 per diaper. I am sure you can see that the math on cost of resources used is really wrong here. Gas is at $1.30/litter. Just the cost of gas alone is equal to the price of the oil needed to produce just one diaper. This does not include the plastic package, the garbage truck, the fuel for you to get the diaper, the heat to keep the store warm, the garbage bag or even the landfill costs. Are you really getting a deal here? 

     * A cloth diaper for arguments sake take the same amount of oil to produce. This is where the price changes. There is no landfill costs. There is no packaging costs. There is no garbage bag costs. There is no fuel costs of you going to buy the diaper. Some people will argue and try to cloud this issue now with the costs of water, soap etc etc. We are smarter than that very thin argument. The amount of water needed to produce paper and plastic diapers is beyond insane. If disposable products were so great we would be wearing them.. we are not. It is simple and beyond refute that a reusable product is cheaper and better for the environment every day than a one time use product. Again.. look at the plastic water bottle. The world is going nuts over this product that just gets thrown away. Now with new washing machines, better fabrics and better soaps, the efficiency of washing has increased. 

The cost of those diapers is not the real costs. There is the increase use of other products like creams and rash ointments. Over 76% of babies in disposables will have a rash. The average length of time in a disposable is 3.5 years and growing. If you are not changing your baby's diaper every 4 hours at the least you are exposing your child to the potential risk of chemical burn from the chemicals in the disposable diapers.

You say that disposables are easy? what is easy about that? go out to buy a diaper, use the diaper, throw away the diaper, put up with the diaper that tears, clean all the linen from the leaky diaper and put up with that smell. Don't forget to buy garbage bags. You forgot the garbage can again to the curb? guess you have to have all that garbage in your garage for yet another week.
