Cloth-bottomed babies potty train and average of a year earlier than their disposable wearing peers. Cloth is a small fraction of that, and our top quality diapers and covers will probably last through all of baby's future siblings, and can be passed on to friends and family. The production of disposable diapers consumes an inordinate amount of resources and energy adding 2.8 billion tons of urine, feces, plastic and paper to landfills annually. Besides filling dwindling landfill space, disposable diapers endanger health and the environment, especially the health of sanitation workers. The potential for disease to spread via ground water has also been cited.
Disposables are the third largest source of solid waste.
It takes a Billion trees every year to produce disposable diapers for the Earths' children. Your baby will spend the first two to three years of life almost constantly in diapers. Do you want to spend the next two or three years wearing wood pulp, plastic and acrylic acid polymer salts. Our thanks to the Mayo Clinic, Consumer Reports, and Earthfirst for these facts.
