You're not doing anything, you're just stretching and reaching for a bright side to make yourself look good/feel good. Plastic literally-everything-fucking-else usage (ziploc bags, garbage bags, cups, spoons, forks, condiment packets, takeout containers, grocery bags which still exist despite having been banned) is so astronomically higher than diapers that it probably makes the CO2 differential between Africa and Europe look small

You missed the point. Disposable plastic items filing our landfills are bad, sure.

But the problem I was referring-to isnt the diapers. It's the catastrophic environmental damage caused by humans reproducing. The problem is the babies.

I promise you nobody is going to stop having kids because diapers specifically are expensive

No, a better policy is investing in schools, giving free contraceptives and healthcare including abortion services

that's nice but has nothing do do with your initial comment

This was not really clear in your previous comments where you zoned in on a specific product rather than population growth.
