Convenient Truths: Only 9 Days Left To Enter!

This savvy entrant realized that swaddling her baby's bum in disposable diapers (or nappies as the New Zealanders say) was contributing to a problem much worse than messy poop: climate change. She hopes that her solution will, "demonstrate a choice that parents from all walks of life can take to help the planet."
We also hope that it will also inspire you to share your solution to climate change and get in the running for $30,000 in sustainable prizes before it's too late!
I would love to enter but my thoughts are of such a radical nature I fear they would be instantly filed in the trash bin of the blogosphere. The total hidden (start with the camera) Carbon Foorprint of a video is far more wasteful than a comment. I would like to see in the future, a total list of every item, similiar to the classic 'Treehugger' posted study on the 'Hamburger'. A list done for each and every item we take for granted in our society of today. Only at that time can the level of awareness be raised to the overall effects Mankind has on this environement.
