Hey I got a great comment today. It says that "while Seventh Generation and Tushies are elemental chlorine free (which means that they don't produce the noxious dioxins that other disposables do) they are not biodegradable. Maybe if you took a pair of scissors to each one and released the inside fluff they would break down, but thrown away as is they are not biodegradable. Don't let the brown diaper fool you! It is still plastic; in fact, it's the same polypropolene used to line landfills (that's how water-tight and air-tight they are!). They may be "green-er" disposables, but are not the "green-est" options out there." Thanks a lot for clarifying this essential point.
Still diaper-related but in a different field, I'm potty-training my almost 2 year old daughter. Beware, this is not for the squeamish. As you may know, disposing of diapers in landfills creates a problem because you're basically disposing of human waste and that's in theory forbidden (and can create health concerns). Well, until my daughter gets it, I've decided to get rid of all her poop directly in the toilet bowl and flush it down. It's better than throwing the whole thing as such in the trash. Of course, it's not always very poetic...
