A greener disposable!

Ah, the diaper issue. When you have a baby, it can be a pretty daunting prospect. What to use? Cloth? Disposables? Something in between? EC? Because this is such a big issue, I am not going to delve into it now, but for those of you who opt for disposables, I DO want to introduce you to a very green option from a very responsible company!
They're called Bambo-Nature.
Bambo Nature is eco-friendly based upon the raw materials they use, their production, the manufacturing process, and the waste issue.  Most of the environmental damage occurring to our planet is based upon the beginning of a product’s life cycle.  This means the raw materials and production.  Waste and the biodegradable issues are only one tiny part of the subject matter.
They actually publish a report called a Life Cycle Assessment which explicitly lists every aspect of production and manufacturing!
This is what they say:

Bambo Nature has raw materials like wood pulp from sustainable tree farms.
is color-coded and it has the Size of the Diaper on the face of it.
Bambo Nature is the ONLY baby diaper that is certified free of dangerous chemicals and all KNOWN allergens.  There are no dyes, no perfumes, no latex, no essential oils.  There is nothing in it that is known to irritate skin; thus avoiding rashes.
Bambo Nature is physically designed to avoid rashes too. 
Bambo has no rough edges, no creases, no folds.
Bambo is ultra soft.  
Bambo has a wetness indicator (LOVE THIS!)
Bambo has a Super-absorbent core with a unique layer that draws wetness away from baby’s skin, keeping baby dry even with repeat wetting.
Bambo is 98% compostable. 
It is considered the “greenest” and “safest” disposable in Europe and the United States.   
This is what I say: 


Personally, we did EC, and backed up with cloth, but there were times I used a disposable or two. I wish I'd have known about these then! These disposables are awesome in all the ways you could want. Super soft, highly absorbant, and the teeny ones have that little cut out for the umbilical cord! The fact that they're the greenest out there just makes it more amazing! I recommend them to all of my clients and friends, and now to you! 
If you're doing disposable, do Bambo Nature! They offer free shipping on orders over $50.
