And those diapers take between 400 and 500 years to break down because of the plastic in them. HIRO Diapers is helping the planet and also helping parents out by not being any more expensive than regular disposable diapers.These diapers are made with no plastic. They also come with these packets of fungal spores that you can drop in the diaper. And when those go into the landfill, they grow into a fungus that eats the plastic around them so you can help the planet get healthier while also helping your baby.Check out the website. They also do a monthly diaper subscription.
