You are probably referring to a study commissioned by Proctor & Gamble (the largest manufacturer of disposables). This “independent” study found that cloth diapers required so much water to wash that they were less environmentally viable than disposables. This is completely false. In fact, that same study conceded that commercial diaper services were the most environmentally friendly way to diaper your child. But amazingly P&G didn’t make that part of the study public.
