What if we lived in a world where all the disposal diapers you could buy on the shelves were compostable and there was a service that came and picked them all up and composted them for you?

And that was the cheapest way to do it. Why don't we just

And then when we went on our honeymoon, we went out to Colorado and literally just hiked every single day that we were out there.

This is Caleb, who lives in Medina, Ohio, about 40 miles south of Cleveland.

Like most of us, he's currently sheltering at home right now with his wife and his two kids, which for him includes a newborn baby.

And why is that a big deal to you?

Like, why is this something that you think about?
