Cloth Diapers Are Catching On Again!
More and more people are concerned about our huge landfills and impact on our environment. A recent article we read gave us the following statistics for the USA:
-9.5 million is the number of children under two years in diapers
-7.5% wear cloth diapers
-92.5% wear disposable diapers
-the average child uses 6,000 diapers in two years.
Wow! Think of the difference to the environment and the cost savings if even a small percentage of children were switched to cloth diapers! We know that disposable diapers are a little more work, but also think of the the cost savings.
We have noticed a real uptick in the number of cloth diapers that we sell. We carry the traditional Gerber diapers (both prefold and flat fold) as well as organic diapers by Under the Nile and the all-in-one diapers by Kushie. There are lots of alternative these days. Please consider the the eco-friendliness and thriftiness of using cloth diapers at least part of the time.
