Disposable Diapers Causing Problems for Environment by Loma Miller The era of the disposable at began some 20 aper Whi years ago as an easy-to-use, txxrn to parents of diaper- aged children, is ending under under tonnes of garbage as impossible impossible to get rid of as free- loading relatives. One baby generates approximately approximately one and one- half tonnes of bulk waste during the two to three year diaper period. That adds up to 7,000 dirty diapers and 3,000 pounds of disposed waste. Bowmanville resident Heather Johnston became concerned about the effect disposable diapers were having having on the environment when she had her second child, Callan. "I still had my daughter, Kaitlin, in diapers and I just couldn't afford to keep tne two of them in disposables." disposables." says Heather. "I checked into the biodegradable biodegradable type of disposable diaper, diaper, but found that the chemicals used in the bleaching process aren't that good for the ecology. This, plus the fact that they aren't decomposing, just adding to the problem, made me take a closer look into cloth diapers." diapers." Heather found that, for her, the perfect diaper was being produced in Vancouver Vancouver by the Indisposable Cotton Cotton Diaper Company. The indisposables are an exclusive exclusive Canadian Company. Eighty-five per cent of their sales reps are parents with hands-on expertise. The alternative alternative biodegradable diaper diaper proved not to be the definitive definitive answer hoped for. It takes 40 years of exposure to the sun for these diseaseladen diseaseladen diapers to decompose, and 500 years if they are wrapped up in plastic bags.

"They don't bum because because of the urine. Even if they did bum, they would would release dangerous toxins into the atmosphere." Heather says: "I was shocked when I realized how much disease-laden waste we were generating.

These bacteria are entering entering our air and water via evaporation into our atmosphere; atmosphere; the run-off rain water filtering _ through dump sites; ana, indirectly, by rodents and pets. Hospitals Hospitals and day-care centres are being encouraged to use the cloth diaper in lieu of disposables. The situation has become so alarming that in 1986, the Ecology Centre of Ann Arbour, Michigan, cited the disposable diaper as "The most wasteful consumer product of the year." In the United States, 18 billion dirty diapers are thrown out each year. Two Hundred and fifty-thousand metric tonnes of disposable diapers are added to Canadian Canadian landfills each year. "I'm appallea when I think of how many forests are being decimated each year for the disposable diaper diaper business," exclaims Heather. "We just weren't thinking about the ecology when disposables disposables came on the scene," she continues. "We were just glad to get them. They saved so much time.

Although there is an initial initial outlay of cash for the purchase of the diapers, Heather believes that users save money in the long run. She says up to $1,500 can be saved with the use of cloth dipers for one infant. They contain no dioxins, and the refuse is relegated to the sewer system to be properly, (we trust), processed to remove remove any harmful elements before being returned to the j water system. You can do your part too. For further information, call Heather Johnston at 623-1248.
