 Environmental Impact
Have you
considered how bedwetting can impact the
Environment?
If you are using disposable or plastic
lined diapers or pull-ups for your child, you are not only
contributing to environmental damage, but also costing your
household thousands of dollars....
Most households simply dispose of them in
the normal rubbish collection system, and they consequently end
up in land-fill sites. Apart from being a public health
problem, these pull-ups, with their wrapped plastic covering,
have been estimated to take 500 years to break down in modern
land-fills. The cumulative quantity of pull-ups in land-fill is
staggering. In the USA, for example, there are approximately
7-9 million bedwetter's over the age of 5 years, and, with one
pull-up per day per child, that is around 3,000,000,000
pull-ups used per year in the USA. From 5 to 10 years there
will be approximately 18,000,000,000 pull-ups used and disposed
of. The figure is actually conservative - many children use
more than one pull-up a night.
Using a bedwetting alarm from Anzacare
puts much less pressure on the environment and treats the
problem at the root level. This way, everyone benefits,
including Mother Nature.
Let's quickly look at how much those
pull-ups are really costing your household....
Calculating from the age of 5 (when
bedwetting is considered to be a problem worth treating)
through to the age of 10 years, using one pull-up per day, 2200
pull-ups will be used by ONE bedwetting child in that
time.
At around $1.00 each, the cost is $365.00
per year, or $2,190.00 during the period of bedwetting. Some
families may have to spend more, and some less, but that is the
average – can you afford to ignore the cost saving of
effectively treating the cause, rather than treating the
problem?
Using a DRI Eclipse® or DRI Excel®
bedwetting treatment alarm costing around $80-$160 is saving
the family up to $2,000, and there is evidence that a child's
self-esteem increases significantly.
In addition, have you considered that
using a pull-up diaper can prolong bedwetting? The child has
little motivation to change their behavior which leads to more
difficulty in the long term.
Many parents and caregivers will use
plastic-lined disposable diapers or pull-ups for their
bedwetting child. The use of this solution can continue up to
the age of 10 and beyond.
