SPARTANBURG, S.C., April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Are you planning your Earth Day stories and features? Babyville Boutique™ suggests a cloth diaper Earth Day challenge that can have significant results in just one day! Do you know how many disposable diapers are dumped in landfills each year and their impact on the environment?
Facts:
- 20 Billion disposable diapers are dumped in landfills each year, accounting for more than 3.5 million tons of waste. (ugh) Source: EPA
- Each diaper can take up to 500 years to break down, contaminating ground water and releasing methane into the atmosphere. Source: Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program
- More than 200,000 trees are lost to the manufacture of disposable diapers for babies in the US alone. Source: The Good Human
- 3.4 billion gallons of fuel oil are used each year to make diapers.
If all families in the US who use disposable diapers switched to cloth diapers for Earth Day alone, it would reduce the numbers dumped in landfills by 49,000,000 for that day!
