Why Consider Cloth Diapers?
Environmental Impacts
FACTS
100% of disposable diapers have yet to decompose in landfills.
It is estimated that it takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to break down. That means every single, non-reusable diaper is sitting exactly as it was the day it was thrown away.
TRUTH.
Even one cloth, reusable diaper change is one less disposable in the landfill. Cloth diaper full-time, part-time, or only sometimes and you still make a huge eco-friendly impact saving Earth’s precious resources.
Benefits
Statistics from a 1998 study done by the Environmental Protection Agency
- Approximately 20 billion diapers are thrown into US landfills each year
- Disposable diapers make up 3.4 million tons of waste a year
- That means disposable diapers could circle the earth 90 times!
Even cloth diapering part-time lowers that number drastically. Small changes have a BIG impact.
