They fit all the criteria: Reduce (36 diapers instead of 6,000), Reuse (use the same diapers over and over, use the same diapers for subsequent children, and then resell them for someone else to use), Recycle (use old diapers as rags, or make
diapers out of recycled materials like sweaters).
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.
