This is a bit banal, but I have always loved Earth-Baby, the diaper service that composts diapers so that they don't fill up landfills and promote more plastic use. It's a Santa Cruz-based company, I used them when both my kids were babies, and I never stop talking about it to friends. While I'm sure there are still negative externalities, it seems like such a good solution in so many ways to breaking one aspect of our addiction to plastic. More than anything, I love this kind of innovation, where someone sees a problem--even a super everyday kind of problem--and takes action.
