It would probably help Jon if anyone on the GRRN list knows how to locate a
hard copy of the two principal references on this topic (I can't find them
online):
Arthur D. Little, consultants. Disposable Versus Reusable Diapers: Health,
Environmental and Economic Comparisons. Cambridge, MA: Arthur D. Little,
1990.

Subject: [GRRN] Cloth Versus Disposable
Dear Colleagues,
With 24 hours notice, I've been asked to give a presentation on cloth versus
disposable diapers.
Though I have a general sense of the issue, it's been many years since I
looked up data on the subject. If anyone has data to share on topics such
as environmental impacts for cleaning cloth versus making and landfilling
disposables, numbers sold, etc., plus any general thoughts on the subject,
please share.
Because I'll be working at home this afternoon, please also respond
separately to the following e-mail address:
Thank you!
