If you're worried that all of your babies' diapers are taking up too much landfill space, there's a new product that could help ease your worries.

Babies go through a lot of diapers.  In fact, one baby could need between five and six-thousand diapers in the first two years of life.  That's a lot of diapers that mostly end up in our landfills.

It all adds up to about 50 million disposable diapers in our landfills each day.  And those diapers can take hundreds of years to break down.  Until recently, the only green alternative was using cloth diapers...not the easiest thing in the world to use.  

But there's another alternative.  Not quite a cloth diaper, but not a disposable either.  It's called a gDiaper.  It will keep your baby's bottom dry while being a friend to the environment.  The outer diaper is cloth and washable, and there are three options for the inner lining.  You can toss it, flush it or even compost it.  They'll break down in the trash and are safe for septic systems, so this landfill-free choice is no doubt appealing. 

Most consumers say green diapers have to be convenient, too.  And these appear to be just that.

But sometimes, being green can cost a little more green.  A starter kit, with two outer diapers, 10 liners and a flushing swish stick costs less than $30.  That's more expensive than traditional disposable diapers, but you can sleep better knowing you're helping save the environment.  And maybe, so will your baby.

Of course one of the best days for all parents is when your child doesn't need diapers anymore.
