The Peanut Gallerie

So, for those of you I have spoken with, know that I hate the idea of disposable diapers... hm, let me rephrase. I love that you can toss a diaper, I'm just not fond of what happens to it at the dump. From the research I have done, it takes about 500 years to decompose. I don't want to contribute that kind of waste into the world. My first idea was to go cloth. I remember my mom doing cloth. Yes, it's gross, but as a tree hugger, it's worth it. Plus, they've come out with some really "adorable!" designs. My main problem is childcare. Most places won't accept them.. and since James will probably be there majority of the time, this wasn't turning out environmental. After more research, I have found G Diapers (www.gdiapers.com). Absolutely brilliant. It's a hybrid :o) They take a cloth diaper and a disposable insert. The insert can be thrown away (it decomposes in days not years), flushed or you can compost it yourself! (but I'm not that much of a hippie). Yeah, it will take practice and patience to get it just right, but if it means a better world for James... I'm in. Besides, there is always the cloth backup.
