Ella saves the planet, one wet diaper at a time

we got a package of "earth friendly" diapers . they cost a bit more than her usual diapers, but supposedly they are bio-degradable and made from materials from renewable resources and not oil-based plastics.

personally i wouldn't go out of my way to "keep oil-based plastics away from babies delicate skin".
however, we do feel bad about adding all this diaper volume to landfills, especially since diapers will stay there for very long time. cloth diapers are out of the question since we don't have a washing machine (we love the earth, but not that much)
so we're trying these earth friendly disposable diapers.

after a few days of alternating between these and pampers, we conclude that the earth-friendly diapers aren't that bad in absorbing wetness, but they're not really getting the job done when it comes to number 2.
so for now, at least until we finish the 40-diaper-bag that we currently have, we use the "industrial strength" diapers in early morning and afternoon, when we expect big messes, and save the earth in between.
