Harmful Effects of Disposable Diapers and Training Pants

Because we are eco-friendly and sustainable we feel that it is necessary to help people make an educated decision when it comes to choosing which products to use for their children. This is for the benefit of you and your child, as well as the environment.

It still amazes us how many people out there give no thought or regard to how the products they use are destroying the very Earth that we all call home, even after being educated and shown the truth about harmful products. Unfortunately, a lot of people want to sweep these problems under the rug and forget about them. However, I think we can all agree that we need Earth in order to survive and give future generations the basic necessities of clean air, clean water, and healthy food. Simple right?

Take a look at some of the information we found about disposable diapers and training pants:

  • 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills every year in the U.S. alone, adding 5 million tons of untreated human waste to the soil. And did you know that it is illegal to put human fecal matter in your household garbage? The American Public Health Association and American Academy of Pediatrics have advised parents that "fecal material and urine should not be allowed to be co-mingled and disposed of as regular trash. This contaminates ground water and spreads disease." Yes, you must remove all of the fecal matter from disposables before you throw them out.
  • Sodium polyacrylate is a chemical that makes disposable diapers so absorbent that it can absorb up to 100 times its weight in water. However, it can stick to children's genitals and cause allergic reactions. In the U.S., this chemical was removed from tampons in 1985 when it was linked to toxic shock syndrome. And when this chemical was tested and injected into rats, it caused hemorrhaging, cardiovascular failure, and ultimately death.
  • 500 years! This is how long it can take each disposable diaper and training pant to decompose in a landfill. That means that every disposable diaper and training pant ever used in the world is still decomposing in a landfill somewhere. And almost 30 percent of each disposable diaper and training pant consists of non biodegradable products such as absorbent vinyl layers, Velcro, absorbent gelling material, and plastic packaging that will never break down.
  • Dioxin is a by product of the paper bleaching process used in the manufacturing of disposable diapers and training pants. It is the most toxic of all the cancer causing chemicals and causes birth defects as well as liver disease in laboratory animals.
  • As many as 100 viruses can survive in soiled disposable diapers or training pants for months. This includes the live polio virus and hepatitis excreted by recently vaccinated babies. These viruses constitute a potential hazard to sanitation workers and garbage handlers. No to mention the critters that will crawl into the landfill to find a meal and the birds that will pick through this garbage and fly to who knows where.

This is obviously not an exhaustive list of harmful effects. Ultimately, the choice is yours.

The Truth About the Best Forex Strategies and Training Courses For Beginners Finally Revealed

If you are searching for the best forex strategies and courses for beginners you will probably find that the amount of information available can be overwhelming. A common problem that new traders often face is trying to sort through all the often conflicting sources of information and then trying to decide who really has the best strategies and courses. A new trader can get to a point of information overload.

So what are the best forex strategies and training courses for beginners? First I am going to tell you about the best forex trading strategies. But before I tell you I should warn you that I am going to give you a really annoying answer. The best forex strategies for a beginner are whatever strategies you like and are comfortable trading. See I told you it was going to be an obnoxious answer. But hear me out.

As a new trader your focus should not be so much on strategies. It's common for new traders to get caught up in the search for that one perfect strategy that will make them successful. The problem is this search never ends. All it does is distracts the trader from learning the most important part of trading. What you as a new trader should be learning is how to become a good trader. No strategy is going to do you any good until you learn to trade with discipline and consistency. One of the hardest things to learn but most important is to not let your emotions drive your trading decisions.

So now what are the best forex training courses for a beginner? Be warned again this answer is going to be as obnoxious as the previous one. The best courses are ones that will teach you to be a good disciplined trader. Unfortunately most traders don't want to learn this stuff. It's not as flashy as chasing the latest greatest strategy. It takes time and some inner work on your own personal habits and this can cause some discomfort at first.

It's common for beginning traders to be too focused on making money now and that lures them into someone who will teach them that winning strategy. But as a beginner you should be trading a demo account and not care about whether it is making money or not. Your focus should be on your trading habits. After you learn to stay consistent and disciplined as a trader that's when you can start to focus on a strategy that will make you money.

If you need to make money right away it's probably not going to be from your own trading as a beginner. It may take months before you can start making consistent profits from your own trading. Until then using an expert advisor can make you the money you need. An expert advisor is a computer program sometimes called a robot that will trade your account for you based on a proven system. They don't cost much and they trade consistently without emotion for you 24 hours a day. You can actually learn a lot from watching them.

If you are looking for the best forex strategies and training courses start focusing on your own trading habits first. If you need to make money now find a good expert advisor and use it.
