I did some calculating. I was curious how large the numbers really were concerning disposable diapers. This is what I came up with:
10 The average number of diapers used per child each day
3650 The average number of diapers used per child each year
9125 The average number of diapers used per child in a life time (assuming they are potty trained by age 2 1/2)
62,050,000,000 The average number of diapers used each year by Americans alone (according to the number of children ages 0-3 according to the 2008 US Census)
500 The number of years it takes for ONE of these disposable diapers to decompose.
60 The number of DAYS it takes for one gdiaper to decompose
