There are many debates as to whether synthetic fibers are any better than disposables, but in the end if you do choose to use microfiber, you will still be keeping one less
diaper out of the land fill, and that is worth it to me.
When you produce 97 %
of your own food, compost all manure (human and animal), make your own clothing, shoes,
diapers, wraps, menstrual pads, washable toilet paper, soaps, lanolin, and herbal tinctures, and grow your animals feed, make your house
out of a recycled tobacco barn with reclaimed building materials, have no electricity (even solar panels / wind generators leave a huge footprint from manufacture), water coming from your spring / creek, home school your children without fancy curriculum, make your living from your
land and being a home birth midwife, etc... then you will see what real life could be.
