Hey Baby, Reduce your Carbon Butt Print

Go Green, Baby!

A baby uses an average of 6,700 diapers before potty training. Last summer my hippy friends were out festing at a remote location and couldn’t use their normal organic cloth diapers. With some advance web surfing, the found great bleach free diapers made by Seventh Generation. Here's a tip, Amazon sells the diapers for 15% off retail price and the order usually qualifies for free shipping too.

So unless you’re in a pinch, reach for cloth diapers first.

• Cloth diapers are softer against your baby’s skin
• Chlorine Free cloth diapers are free of many chemicals contained in disposable diapers
  

The poop on disposable diapers

• Over 92% of all single-use diapers end up in a landfill
• It is estimated to be about 250-500 years for a disposable diaper to decompose
• Disposable diapers are the third largest single consumer item in landfills
• In one year, more than 300 pounds of wood, 50 pounds of petroleum stock and 20 pounds of chlorine are used to produce disposable diapers for a single baby
  

Reduce your Carbon Butt Print and shop for high end second hand diapers such as Fuzzi Bunz, bumGenius and Kissaluvs. You can usually find a bargin on eBay and Craigslist.
