Weekly Green Tip

Diaper Conscience
Babies fly through 5,000 to 8,000 diapers before using the “big kid underpants”.  That’s 3.5 million TONS of waste in American landfills.  Can you imagine that kind of mass?  It’s nearly 2.5 million cars worth of baby waste and diapers!  There are environmentally friendly versions of diapers as well as washable cloth diapers.  And mothers report potty training goes much more quickly with cloth diapers because children learn to associate the behavior when they can feel wet creating their own desire to potty like a big kid.
