They arent green. Theyre a bit yellowish.

So reusable cloth diapers arent all that green eh?
A government report that found old-fashioned reusable nappies damage the environment more than disposables has been hushed up because ministers are embarrassed by its findings.
But notice what the Brit government does:
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has instructed civil servants not to publicise the conclusions of the £50,000 nappy research project and to adopt a “defensive” stance towards its conclusions.
A defensive stance against the truth? Nyahahahaha!! Governments. They suck.

But to be fair, it's not the nappies themselves that arent green. It's how the Brits wash them.
To reduce the impact of cloth nappies on climate change parents would have to hang wet nappies out to dry all year round, keep them for years for use on younger children, and make sure the water in their washing machines does not exceed 60C.
That's how we in Third World countries have always washed them. We use the sun and our hands. Not Maytag. Lazy ass.

Nappies, regardless of what kind, are sometimes green. You know, because of what's inside them after you take them off the baby.
