Better for the environment...best for your baby.
Concerned about the environment? Feeling guilty when you see how many garbage bags full of dirty diapers you're leaving on the curb? Use cloth diapers! Cloth diapers aren't just best for your baby, they're also a better choice for the environment! Consider these facts supplied by the Real Diaper Association:
Disposable diapers generate sixty times more solid waste than cloth.
Disposable diapers use twenty times more raw materials, like crude oil and wood pulp.
No one knows how long it takes for a disposable diaper to decompose, but it is estimated to be about 250-500 years under optimal circumstances, long after your children, grandchildren and great, great, great grandchildren will be gone.
Disposable diapers are the third largest single consumer item in landfills, and represent about 4% of solid waste. In a house with a child in diapers, disposable make up 50% of household waste.
Over 92% of all single-use diapers end up in a landfill.
Throwaway diapers use twice as much water as cotton diapers, mostly in the manufacturing process.
One ton of garbage is created for each baby who uses disposable diapers.
Cloth diapers make babies happy and the environment healthy, so spread the word!
