00:00I present to you, my son Joe.
00:08For the next three years, I will have to face a problem as old as the history of humanity.
00:14How to keep it clean until it is all alone?
00:18For a long time, women had to rub, soap, and wipe the diapers they put on their babies every day.
00:27But that was before.
00:29Now, slavery is over thanks to a brilliant invention.
00:33Pantyhose.
00:38Yet, as I watch my trash can fill up, I start to ask myself questions.
00:44Today, Joe is a baby among millions.
00:47If we imagine that each baby needs six diapers a day,
00:51that's 2,000 a year, 6,000 until it's clean.
00:556,000 diapers, that's equivalent to a ton.
00:58That's a hell of a lot of trash, here and elsewhere.
01:03After just a few hours, they end up being discharged, where they will stay much longer.
01:10Pantyhose diapers have become a real environmental problem.
01:14In percentage, it is the product that comes to mind in our household waste.
01:19And this problem has been created in the space of a generation.
01:23My generation.
01:27Pantyhose doesn't look like much, but it's an emblematic object of our consumer society.
01:33It's the first thing you put on a baby,
01:36and yet it comes to pollute a world that we want the best for it.
01:43I don't want to go back to the Stone Age,
01:46but I can't pretend that nothing happened either.
01:49It's a real dilemma. What to do?
01:53I don't know.
