Now you can have it all: the convenience of disposable diapers, baby and safety of natural materials, "organic disposable objects", not contradictory promise to end the dispute and to seek help for the mother earth from the danger zone.
The diaper technology to the point where the great diaper debate fades out and screaming whisper, finally, is a thing to be progressed. In particular, working parents and day care providers have argued loudly in favor of disposablediapers, because they put a premium on quick-and-easy changes and zero maintenance: Who has time to fumble with pins or tricky closures, and who has time for daily laundry? Environmentalists, however, challenge disposable advocates' flagrant disregard for the planet's needs: Filled with chlorine, volatile organic chemicals, and plastics, old-fashioned disposables accumulate in landfills, releasing toxins without degrading. And the average baby clad in nothing but disposables will pile-up two tons of inorganic waste by the time he toddles up to the toilet.
At least five major manufacturers of babies' diapers now offer all-natural disposables. Even the frequent environmental offenders-Huggies and Pampers-come in all-new and all-natural materials. Most organic disposable diapers will go straight into the trash without inducing great pains in a parent's conscience; although they briefly take-up scare landfill space, they degrade and disappear in 150 days. The best organic disposables, however, are flushable and compostable. The flushable diapers typically are designed and developed for use in "pocket diapers," but a few work just like the old fashioned kind. Parents must break-up the paper and cellulose before they flush, but the flushables do go right down the drain. Compostable babies' diapers go right into the heap with all your other yard waste, breaking down at least as quickly as last autumn's leaves.
Advances in organic farming have made chemical-free wood more plentiful and affordable. Now, environmentally conscious manufacturers produce diapers that go from forest to baby to landfill untouched by toxins or volatile organic compounds. A few premium producers of organic disposable babies' diapers boast their raw materials come from rare trees organically grown on family farms in the world's emerging nations. That claim scores the environmentalist trifecta. Large-scale manufacturers attribute their innovations to development of new cellulose products. Used as substitutes for old-fashioned disposables' plastic outsides, new cellulose compounds share plastic's performance properties, but they come from corn instead of complex laboratory-synthesized polymers.
