What
Type of Green
Diapers Should You Use?
And what makes a diaper
"environmentally friendly"?
You
have many options to choose from, so let carbon-balanced-baby.org give
you some advice...
One
of the best
ways to reduce your baby's environmental impact is to use green, eco or
environmentally friendly diapers. Which ones are the best for you
and your baby? We'll let you decide that. But we also suggest that you
try out several of the options listed below and come to a smart, informed decision that
will work for you, the environment and your baby.
What makes a diaper eco friendly? Several factors, but it is
important to note that even if you make the right decision to use these
products they are still making a detrimental impact on the
environment, in one way or another. These give you the opportunity to reduce you baby's
impact, not eliminate it. Regardless, eco friendly diaper use is a
responsible and important step to carbon-balancing your baby.
The 3 Types of Green Diapers
 Disposable
Diapers: About 90% of all diapers used in the
United States,
UK, Australia and Japan are disposable diapers. Most likely, you also
enjoy the convenience of disposables but are worried about their
ecological impact. Environmentally friendly options are available to
mothers like you!
 Reusable
Diapers: Prior to 1961 just about the only types of
diapers
available to mothers were reusable. Many people feel reusable diapers
are the most ecologically safe way to care for your baby. Regardless of
your opinion it is important that you explore this option. If you
currently use disposables, try adopting reusables a couple of changes
per day. It will help balance your baby's carbon footprint!
 Flushable Diapers:
What a novel idea!
A combination of reusable and disposable diaper with an absorbent layer
that you can flush down the toilet! Even if you have to throw the inner
layer away, it is non-plastic and degrades quickly. A great way to ease
the burden
your baby has on the environment! These diaper types, like
any other, are not perfect but they are an important option you should
consider.
