Disposeable Nappies

I cannot understand why women of this day and age want to use disposeable nappies. You can get some really beaut bright coloured cloth nappies that hug and cling just as well as a disposeable one. The only thing the cloth nappies DON'T DO is foul up the environment. There are so many of these foul smelling plastics nappies (half the time not even emptied) that do not break down and add more pollution to our soils and air.
The problem is people are lazy, it is convenient for them. These cost a fortune over a few years, imagine what they can save.Don't they realize that the Earth has a problem, don't they want to make it better for their children and so on.
Wake up please, think of your children.

Some of the comments on this forum reflect the simplistic view taken by many when it comes to the "children" debate. So often I read that people with children are lazy bogans who use government subsidies to feed their desire to purchase consumer goods and take their pesky children on planes just to spite the childless fellow passengers. Having recently become a parent and now living off a single income, and watching my friends struggle with the same, I can see these generalisations, which I may have been guilty of subscribing to myself some years ago, as being grossly untrue and unfair.
Back to the actual topic, I agree, people want convenience. That is what humankind strives towards. It is convenient for me to buy flour in a packet rather than grow and grind my own wheat, and to buy milk in a container rather than raise dairy cows. I think people need to look at their own conveniences that have environmental impacts before so harshly judging the users of disposable nappies.
