(Dia)per Your Request

03.11.2009

The Bite:
“Dear Diaper Company: Please find enclosed a week's worth of nasty nappies to deal with.” Too good to be true? Well, believe it, 'cuz EarthBaby'll deliver compostable wipes and diapers (sizes 1 to 6 for babes, and pull-ups for toddlers) to your, um, crib, and then pick up the soiled ones (same day each week) for composting. EB sells the finished product for landscaping (think highway medians and golf courses) - a much better destination than the landfill (where 18 billion disposable diapers end up in America each year). Plus, the absorbent layer's made from FSC-certified wood pulp and an absorbent gel that's MBDC-approved. Thanks for your consideration.
Wanna Try: 
EarthBaby, (650-641-0975). Delivery, pickup, and composting, $25/month; pack of diapers, $12/22-44 (depending on size); wipes, $4/70.

Cocktail Fact

In the 1500s, only the children of royalty had their diapers (typically pads made of rabbit skin and grass) changed daily.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters switch to compostable diapers (that actually get composted) for one child for a year, we’ll keep 25 million diapers outta landfills.
