they're not degrading... they're biodegrading!

we found biodegradable wipes and diapers today. they're about $1 more than the average pamper and nothing could excite me more that there is yet one more easy way to save the planet.
Personally the best part about them is the absence of sesame street characters smiling back at me from my child's bottom.


here's something to read:

The story behind the first ECO-friendly high-performance baby diaper

It took a concerned Swedish mother to make it. Marlene Sandberg, former law firm partner and the mother of two boys:
“It all started with a newspaper article. It said that every year of a baby’s life resulted in a mountain of used diapers weighing half a ton, every year. Half a ton! Even more disturbing was the fact that the traditional diapers were mainly made of plastic made from oil!! An oil product that comes in contact with the child’s delicate skin. I got really upset. Couldn’t this be done better?”

Nature babycare is the result of many years of intense work and development:
-The first ECO-friendly high-performance diaper, based on new green technology, protected by a Swedish patent.
-Soft, thin, comfortable and with perfect sizing.
-With an exclusive chlorine free absorbent material.
-With natural based material against the baby’s skin, breathable and extremely kind for the baby.
-And performance as well as the best “traditional” diapers.
