The real ecology of using disposable diapers. Here are some mathematical equations to help you realize how using disposable diapers contributes to global pollution
How many diapers are thrown away each year in San Diego California? https://images.app.goo.gl/8MfeAPpMiq19AsCP9 https://youtube.com/shorts/WT8Gy5FXnNE?si=EnQlXf9IknwBzU16 If San Diego, California disposes of approximately 42,000 tons of disposable diapers each year, and the average disposable diaper weighs about 0.1 kilograms, then the number of diapers thrown away annually can be calculated as follows: 42,000 tons x 1,000 kilograms/ton ÷ 0.1 kilograms/diaper = 4.2 billion diapers So, San Diego, California throws away around 4.2 billion disposable diapers every year. How tall would the pile of diapers be compared to Mount Everest? *David calculates the height* If we assume the average disposable diaper is about 0.1 meters tall, then the height of a pile of 4.2 billion diapers can be calculated as follows: 4.2 billion diapers x 0.1 meters/diaper = 420 million meters Now, let's compare that height to Mount Everest: 420 million meters ÷ 8,848 meters/Mount Everest = 47,291...
