Going, Going... Green

Thanks to my friend Laura's green recommendation, Phin's bottom is finally on it's way to reducing it's biohazard footprint here on good ol' Mother Earth. How can an 8 month old go green, you ask? Well, we, the Kasubick's, have opted to use gDiapers. gDiapers were developed by an Australian family who was concerned about their childern's future on Earth. It is a flushable, compostable, or tossable biodegradable diaper. No plastic, no guilt, and virtually no mess... well, most of the time. AND the starter kit comes with a swizzle stick so that you can stir the contents of your bowl to break down the matter before you flush. Totally rad!

So, as I was trying to sell this new, environmentally friendly concept to my DH, we realized that we have really super old plumbing in our almost century old home. That means no flushing for us! Instead, we set up two trash bins in Phin's room--one for uber soiled refills, and another just for the wet ones that we will add to the garden compost. This is the cool thing--it will take about 50-150 days for these to break down as opposed to 500 years for a regular plastic diaper to decompose. Again, totally rad!

Needless to say, Phin's tushy is glad, groovy, guilt-free, gorgeous (hee, hee... I think so), and most importantly, GREEN.
