Clean Pools, Less Chlorine ... With Moss?

Clean Pools, Less Chlorine ... With Moss?:
"A Minnesota company deploys a species of sphagnum moss to treat bacteria in pools -- greatly reducing the need for chlorine and other chemicals. Are moss-lined diapers next?"
Why not?
“I’ve made a diaper with moss in it,” Dr. Knighton said. “It’s very absorbent. In fact, Native Americans used it as a diaper in papooses. It will absorb all the urine, and we think it will prevent diaper rash.”
Shouldn't we consider old ways rather than just laugh at them? Our grandparents were right about many things. We just forgot so many of their lessons.
