Disposable Diaper Dilemma:
The problem with disposable diapers, besides them being really expensive, is that they end up in landfills by the millions.
These diapers take an estimated 500 years to decompose.
Additionally, it takes up huge amounts of resources including wood pulp and plastic during their manufacturing.
Fact: Americans throw away enough disposable diaper each year to stretch from the moon and back at least seven times. -Julia Butterfly Hill
Another point of note, is that only a small fraction of parents wash out disposable diapers before they throw them away. This is a huge problem because that means that millions of tons of potentially virus-infected diapers end up in our dump sites. This can result in the potential for hundreds of different viruses that are associated with the human feces can seep into our groundwater. |
