disposable diapers are better for the environment

From World...

Britain's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spent £50,000 to research whether disposable or cloth diapers left a smaller carbon footprint.

The conclusion? Disposable diapers...

cloth diapers could compete environmentally, but only if their users kept them for years, air dried them, and washed them at temperatures below 60º C (140º F).

This is where the conservative in me says... "I'm just using cloth to save money!" :D (environment is only a side benefit) I do plan to keep them and use them for a second or third child - that is indeed where the significant cost savings will come into play.
