Goin' Green

Over the summer we took a leap and switched from disposables to these gdiapers (or green diapers) and they've been working out well. I honestly can't remember what got me turned on to them initially, but when I did more research and learned about the tons and tons of garbage that disposable diapers produce, and the fact that they take 500 years to break down, it really wasn't a hard sell. They come with these cute outer coverings, a plastic liner and disposable refills, which can be flushed, tossed or composted. We actually don't trust our system enough to flush 'em, so we have become official composters with a black plastic bin out behind the shed. Only the wet ones can go in there, but between those and our food scraps, we have cut our trash output in half. Not a lot of effort for quite a big difference-plus how cute is that "g " on her bum? ;p
