For us, the water from the washer goes into the same pipes the toilet water goes to. Since, in most communities, the water goes into the sewer system the same as toilet water, it's no worse on the environment than adult poo.

I've learned through ten babies that you don't really need all the things they say you need.

Changing table - change them on the bed
diaper pad - towels work fine
diaper stacker - keep them in a drawer
diaper disposal system - just tie each diaper in a grocery bag and throw it away
playpen - we almost never used it as a playpen
frontpack - borrow this to see if you really like it before buying
backpack - ditto
toys - they need so few toys!
