Criticism of "Decision Earth"
It has been asserted that "Decision Earth" included a series of controversial claims about waste disposal, mining and forestry issues which was distributed by the Procter & Gamble corporation to roughly 75,000 schools in the United States. Procter and Gamble argued in their package that disposable diapers are no worse for the environment than cloth diapers, a claim based on scientific studies funded by Procter and Gamble. The company just happens to be the world's largest manufacturer of disposable diapers. The package described garbage-fuelled incineration processes where energy is recovered, as "thermal recycling" without mentioning the toxic ash or emissions that result.

Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heaven to earth.”
