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

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