As a new mom and an ecogeek, I know that choosing a diapering method is a huge issue. Disposable diapers clog landfills for hundreds of years. There are alternatives to disposables, of course, but they have their drawbacks. Cloth diapers require extra water and electricity for laundering and the couple of biodegradable options don’t quite perform as well and are hard to find at local supermarkets. This leads to an overwhelming majority of parents choosing disposables and approximately 27.4 billion diapers making their way to American landfills every year.
