The green mama's Profile

Great research monika1. (I once did an article on tampons also. It is an interesting subject to pursue -- my research suggested that a lot of the harm came from the use of rayon and chlorine. Yet another thing that might make a good post.) I've been in touch with the manufacturer of the gDiapers to learn more--I will let you know what I learn.

I would like to say that if I were to advocate for a diaper SYSTEM, I would suggest this: cloth diapers (I like fuzzy bunz or the organic alternative swaddlebees) that you wash yourself, with gDiapers serving for traveling or nights or other times when cloth becomes less practical.

Maybe I will do a future blog on elimination communication--the most eco-conscious choice of all. Diaper Free by Ingrid Bauer is a good book on the subject.

I think it is important that we try to find better alternatives and share with each other what we learn about the consequences of our choices. Thanks to all that have posted and helped to enlighten this subject--it is great to see all of the interest in green parenting.
