Did you know that a typical disposable diaper takes over 500 years to decompose? And an average baby goes through around 5000 of them in a lifetime?
Yikes! Multiply that by the number of babies in the U.S. alone and the picture starts to look pretty grim–and more than a little stinky.
Thank goodness eco-entrepreneur + daddy extraordinaire, Jason Graham-Nye (Co-Founder and CEO of gDiapers) is working hard to send a breath of fresh air through the diaper industry. And Mums + Dads (and babies too!) are thankful for gDiapers’ stylish and sustainable alternative to normal nappies. In the The Green Line Series, Jason offers his advice for creating a successful green start-up, how to develop a truly sustainable brand and how to leverage social media + brand evangelists as aces up your sleeve against the big guns.
Jason is a speaker at Go Green ’09, an all-day sustainability conference in Portland, Oregon. Join us October 7th, 8:00am-4:30pm, at the Gerding Theater to learn how to take your business to new sustainable heights from our panel of 40+ world-renowned, eco-visionary speakers.
