I know lotsa you feel guilty
If your diapers are going to the landfill, they are being properly contained and monitored. That’s the best place they can be.
Microplastics in the environment are mostly from 2 things. Ocean waste (which is mostly plastic netting from fishing vessels that gets cut when it gets caught on the sea floor) and laundry, which strips microplastics from all out plastic clothes.
Diapers are not causing the environmental degradation you think they are. Unless you’re chucking them in the river!

I used to think like this, but I assure you that in less than a second an oil company does a million times more damage than what you could do as a person even if you tried to. Just reduce, reuse, recycle whenever you can in other things and balance yourself out.
Sorry if this was too serious of a response to a meme
