One condom vs 6,000 diapers. I think your right about the condom doing less damage to the environment.

Latex is natural rubber and is indeed biodegradable though it is slow to break down. Polyurethane condoms will probably be found in the archeological record.

Polyurethane also biodegrades, just very slowly. Since condoms are very thin there will be not much left of them after a century
2 0 ReplySheep intestine is another biodegradable option. Probably worse environmental impact than natural latex though.

Isn’t all latex biodegradable? It’s cured tree sap.
31 0 ReplyYes, however, it's the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.
Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.
57 0 ReplyNitrile is an option as well. They don't contain the protein that triggers allergic reactions

Ah... 2019... The year of the distortion memes.
You see, it's funnier because the letters are being silly.
10 0 Replyfor me the distortion adds to the meme because it changes how I pronounce the second part in my mind. because of the distortion I read it with a rising and falling tone or whatever it's called, which made it a lot funnier.

What is the impact on the biosphere of a single person born in the West? Isn't it something absurd like, detonating a nuclear bomb or two?
10 2 Replyi dont know about that figure. It's certainly more than the average third world individual, but then again i believe third world countries are some of the most polluting out there based on the resource extraction, so while the individual may not create a shit ton of pollution, all that mining sure does create a lot.
3 0 Replya lot of mining is just outsourced pollution of first world countries.
