Ecoholic 2

one more thing about Ecoholic:

in discussion of the eco-friendly options for birth control, i was disappointed to see that the diaphragm was not mentioned.

The diaphragm is the ultimate eco-friendly birth control option... almost no waste

she spends significant time talking about the environmental impact of the hormone residue from hormonal birth control, and ignores the health implications the birth control has... she mentions the other poisions we find in our makeup, our skin cream, or bug spray, but does not discuss the health problems that can come from hormonal birth control...

Essentially, vasil lists off the problems with hormonal birth control but does not offer the diaphragm as an option... of course, there could be problems with the spermicidal jelly. I'm not too sure. However, the diaphragm itself is excellent with respect to waste.
