			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-38" title="Earth Baby" src="http://babyblogger.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/earth-baby.gif" alt="Earth Baby" width="350" height="117" />OK so by now most parents who are concerned about the environmental impact of disposable diapers pretty much know our alternatives &#8211; some sort of reusable (i.e. cloth) diaper, or gDiaper compostable diapers (yes, yes, I know there is also Elimination Communication, or &#8220;ECing,&#8221; but even those kids need to use diapers).  But I recently found out that there is a company based in the Bay Area in California that offers <strong><em>truly</em></strong> Earth-friendly disposable diapers and diapering products. <em> Earth Baby </em>diapers are (from what I&#8217;ve read), comparable in usage and performance to traditional &#8220;disposable&#8221; diapers, however the difference is that they are 100% compostable.  For a very reasonable monthly fee of $24.99, the company provides monthly delivery of diapers, wipes and other products, and a weekly pickup of soiled diapers and wipes.  The diapers and wipes are then composted in their own industrial composting facility.  Not only do the products get turned into nutrient-rich top-soil, but the composting process requires only a <em>small </em>amount of the energy required to launder reusable diapers!  Wholly smokes!  Many other companies offer &#8220;green&#8221; or &#8220;natural&#8221; diapers &#8211; for example Huggies has recently come out with &#8220;Pure &amp; Natural&#8221; diapers which contains Aloe and Vitamin E and *includes* organic cotton in the outer cover, but while they may be healthier for your child&#8217;s skin, this in no way means that the diapers are going to be spending any less time in our landfills.  So with Earth Baby, you get the convenience of disposable diapers, plus the peace of mind that you are not contributing to landfills (and BTW &#8211; traditional disposable diapers take something like <strong>500 YEARS</strong> to decompose &#8211; yikes!).  So what I want to know is &#8211; how is this company not making front-page news?  (maybe it is in the Bay Area?)  I mean, is it just me, or is this <em>huge</em>?  Seriously.  <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">ALL the convenience of disposables</span>, no actually they&#8217;re MORE convenient than traditional disposables because the products are delivered <span style="text-decoration: underline;">right to your door</span> (no more trips to Target!), <strong>plus</strong> they haul away the stinky ones, <strong>plus</strong> no guilt over the negative effect on our planet!  I&#8217;m pretty comfortable with my cloth diapers, but if Earth Baby diapers were an option for me here in Sacramento, would I use them?  HELL YES. </p>
<p>Well in any case, they&#8217;re not available in Sacramento (yet), so if you&#8217;re reading this blog and you happen to live in the Sacramento area, <strong><em>please please please please please</em></strong> log onto <a href="http://www.earth-baby.com/home.php">http://www.earth-baby.com/home.php</a>, click &#8220;Sign up Now,&#8221; and check the box to sign up for the waiting list.  And if you&#8217;re not in Sacramento, do it too!  Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if every city in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">California</span> the U.S. had this service available?  This is a product that not only would appeal to the die-hard granola-eating, tree-hugging, organic-vegetable-garden-in-my-backyard moms-and-dads, but to the general public.  I mean given the option, why wouldn&#8217;t you use this service (other than the monthly service fee)?  I seriously think this the best thing to happen to babies/parents since um&#8230; I don&#8217;t know, maybe the &#8220;Breast is Best&#8221; campaign? </p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m hoping to get feedback from anyone using this service.  The only reviews I could find as of yet are these: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/earthbaby-compostable-diaper-service-mountain-view">http://www.yelp.com/biz/earthbaby-compostable-diaper-service-mountain-view</a> (all positive reviews &#8211; very promising!  The only negative that could be said is that the diapers themselves are more expensive than inexpensive disposable diapers such as Costco&#8217;s Huggies, but I think most people would be willing to pay a little extra to help save the planet!).  My brother and sister-in-law (from whom I first heard of this company) are expecting their first baby in 2 weeks, and are lucky enough to live in San Jose where the Earth Baby service is available &#8211; so I&#8217;ll be very interested to hear how they like the products and service!  Happy Diapering!</p>
