Think of the fuel, exhaust etc used to cut down trees, transport them to the mill, make them into toilet paper, create and transport the plastic to package them, transport the packaged paper to a warehouse, to a store, to a home then the plastic in the landfill forever and the paper to a waste proccessing plant. That can't possibly compare to fabric that is made once and then a few items added to the wash each week. There is no comparison. You can't be serious!

It may have been toilet paper originally ! :-) While I'd never use these I also won't use recycled toilet paper. It may have been toilet paper originally ! :-)

Or did I contribute to landfill waste and use disposables? In the end, I went with disposables because using cloth did mean extra water, detergent, bleach, softeners. I also couldn't stand the thought of having something so nasty in my dirty clothes hamper... :-/ This was one of my dilemmas 19 years ago when Sarah was in diapers: Did I do the "green" thing and use cloth diapers?

I've never claimed they'll save the environment! (However, if you're already washing cloth diapers, there's no additional water or detergent use.)

You need to throw them into a washer machine and use plenty of electricity to get them clean, plus detergents and bleach. I seriously doubt people will be washing them by hand, and even if they did, they would still be wasting clean, potable water. Personally, I feel these are horribly inefficient compared to manufactured toilet paper, and extremely unhygienic. Totally ridiculous idea. How can these be considered "green"?
