The Real Diaper Association does it right in so many ways. The mission is basic, "to increase the use of simple, reusable cloth diapers". And in the last few years, they have done just that.

Breastfeeding Moms Prefer Cloth Diapers
I just read some encouraging, but not surprising, results to a poll over at Breastfeeding 1-2-3 regarding Cloth -v- Disposable diaper usage among breastfeeding mothers. The respondents to their poll chose cloth diapers over disposable diapers 2 to 1.
Are you trading trash for your personal convenience?
As a mother I enjoy many modern conveniences. Take for instance the microwave - perfect for re-heating the same cup of coffee 3 times because I was too busy wiping noses, bums, or putting together Lego® castles to sit down and drink it. Yea microwave! GO MICROWAVE!
Is it difficult to have a serious conversation about cloth diapers...
...with names like these?
We often get mothers' perspective on cloth diapering, but many times the dad's aren't supportive until the diapers enter their homes and they can see firsthand how easy cloth diapers can be.
Attack of the Alterna-Moms
I read a book review today of Erika Schikel's book, You're not the boss of me: Adventures of a Modern Mom and I couldn't help but feel a certain attachment to this woman who writes, "I sucked at Alterna-Momming," and "I simply didn’t have the conviction required to actually stuff a birthday piñata with raisins and string cheese. I could talk the talk, but I couldn’t walk 10 feet in their Birkenstocks... Realizing that I didn’t fit in with the Traditional Moms or Alternative Moms, I felt lost, unmoored, alone in my convictions. I was just a Slacker Mom with a guilty conscience."
Environment weighs heavily on diaper decisions
"The environmental movement has finally begun to have an impact on a very different kind of movement.
Although disposables still dominate, diapers have changed. New parents enjoy a wider range of options as they try to balance environmental impacts with other considerations such as cost, convenience and their baby's comfort. "Greener" diapers benefit all of us. In 2005, more than 54 million pounds of disposable diapers were buried in King County's Cedar Hills Landfill. That's nearly 3 percent of all waste — one of the largest percentages for any single type of product."
Cloth diaper laundry - easy enough for a baby
Most parents that consider cloth diapers for their babies have more questions regarding washing the cloth diapers than anything else. Yes, they are concerned about getting the right sizes and absorbency, but primarily they want to know about upkeep. "You put the cloth diapers WITH POOP ON THEM into the washing machine?" Why yes, yes you do. The same way you put dirty clothes and underclothing into the washing machine.
Cloth diapers and car seats...
"Before we made our decision to use cloth diapers instead of disposables, we talked to a lot of other couples and researched the topic.
My mother always used cloth diapers, and as the oldest of six children, I’m used to changing cloth diapers and I know how to wash them. My husband said he’s more than willing to try, as he doesn’t know the difference between the two.
No seriously, changing cloth diapers really IS easy
So, recently I've written about how easy it is to change a cloth diaper. In fact, I went as far *gasp* as to say it is JUST AS EASY to change a cloth diaper as it is to change a disposable diaper ... say it isn't so!
Maggie Gyllenhaal Uses Organic Cloth Diapers
"Not on herself, of course. Though that would be kinky. Celebrity Baby Blog is reporting that Maggie Gyllenhaal, sister of her equally famous brother Jake Gyllenhaal, is using organic cloth diapers for her new babe, Ramona.
Cloth diapers are as easy to change as a disposable diaper
There is a myth that has perpetuated itself far too long – the myth that somehow disposable diapers are easier than cloth diapers. The myth has sustained itself from the mouth of our grandmothers and their horror stories of dunking, washing, wringing, and pinning cloth diapers.
