BAMBOOZLE CLOTH DIAPER

more (generations of reuse)

I have at least one friend who has used cloth diapers for her wee (and wet) ones. And while there are always moans and groans from parents at the thought of it, they were the norm for almost the entirety of human history. So was dying of smallpox, but in certain cases technology doesn't necessarily make things better. And in this one, the chemical-laden, plastic, disposable diaper is a menace to our landfills and even, many times, to baby's bottoms.

It's likely that 27 billion plastic diappies end up in the ground each year.

This cloth one is made from bamboo, that super-sustainable fabric that also happens to be incredibly soft and absorbent. So, baby stays dryer and more comfortable and you get to save the energy used to manufacture disposables while reusing something instead of handling it once and throwing it away.

I'll understand if you can't do it, but do give it a thought or two.
