What is a Carbon Butt Print?
Your carbon butt print is the amount of waste that you create by using adult diapers. Like many other consumer products that include plastic, diapers take a long, long time to break down in land fills. Hence, every diaper you use and throw away contributes to your carbon butt print.
Consider this:
– Adult diapers and briefs currently make up 7% of our nation’s landfill
– Baby diapers currently contribute just 2-3% of landfill waste
– Diapers are the third largest type of landfill waste
– The average adult diaper or brief will take up to 200 years to decompose (the same amount of time as an aluminum can)
Yowza … that’s a lot of carbon. And the number of adult diapers being thrown into landfills will only increase as baby boomers age.
What You Can Do to Reduce Your Carbon Butt Print
Naturally, the best thing for both you and the environment is to get out of adult diapers if at all possible. If you haven’t actually sought help for your women’s urinary incontinence (and about half of all women who have this condition have not), now is the time to do it.
