According to the article "The Lifecycle of Plastics" by
WWF Australia, a disposable baby diaper takes 500
years to completely decompose on Earth. When I first
came across this new knowledge, I was both shocked
by the duration of its decomposition and amused by
the irony of it. Of course, one of the most important
reasons people talk about supporting environmental
conservation is to create a better living environment
for future generations. Yet, surprisingly, the very
things underneath a baby's bottom are harming our
planet. This project aims to convey the harm and
current state of disposable diapers to the target
audience of parents of newborns and those who will
become parents, using data visualisation.
