Biodegradable Diapers

Well, if you have a baby you know that baby's go thru diapers like crazy. I was thinking last week how much actual garbage that creates. Think about it- about 1 huge garbage bag a week. That a huge waste and it probably is impacting our environment to a huge degree, esp since there are millions of babies using diapers. It's overwhelming to think about. I don't ever want to go to cloth diapers, because don't they waste alot of water!? So, I did some researching and stumbled upon G-Diapers. This is an amazing new type of diaper that mixes disposable diapers with washable ones. There is a cute washable diaper cover that you get (very fashionable) and you insert these disposable/ biodegradable diapers. They kinda look like sanitary napkins. Then after baby soiled you flush it down the toilet or (peepee only) you put it in your compost heap! Isn't that pretty cool? I guess you have to swirl it in the toilet to break it up, but the fact that it biodegradable is awesome. Check out their video on how fast it decomposes!

Pros:
Trendy
Biodegradable
GREEN

Cons:
Less absorbant
Most Costly
