hi there!
i just came across some statistics that i thought you as parents might find interesting.
=]
these are just for 1990 and only in the USA, they are much greater now:
amount of disposable nappies used: 18,000,000,000
Amount consumers spent on disposable nappies: $3,500,000,000
Increase in disposable nappies sold:
1969: $90,000,000
1987: $3,300,000,000
Amount of disposable nappies used, per baby: An average baby uses up to 10,000 nappies by the time he/she is fully toilet trained.
Time for JUST ONE nappy to biodegrade: 500 YEARS!!!
scary!!
