According to a Swiss environmentalist I know the Swiss don't make electricity when burning garbage. They make heat and pipe it to homes, but since they started removing most cardboard and paper from the waste they need to add flammable stuff to burn the wastes, so rather than providing energy the burning needs energy. It is still better to use cloth, though probably the difference isn't as great as in the US or UK.

I would like to use cloth diapers, and am interested in the link someone gave earlier. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any diaper/nappy cleaning services in the Zurich area. They have environmentally friendly diaper cleaning services in most large US cities, but I haven't been able to find any here.
