No one knows how long it takes for a disposable diaper to decompose, but it is estimated to be about 250-500 years, long after your children, grandchildren and great, great, great grandchildren will be gone.
Disposable diapers generate sixty times more solid waste and use twenty times more raw materials, like crude oil and wood pulp.
The manufacture and use of disposable diapers amounts to 2.3 times more water wasted than cloth.
Over 300 pounds of wood, 50 pounds of petroleum feedstocks and 20 pounds of chlorine are used to produce disposable diapers for one baby EACH YEAR.

Can't Do Cloth??? There are still many other things you can do to help save our planet! Check out our website & blog!!
Who I'd like to meet: Why choose cloth diapers? There are so many reasons. Cloth diapers are soft against your baby’s skin. Cloth diapers are also free of the many chemicals contained in disposable diapers. Our common sense tells us that cloth diapers are the ultimate in recycling because they are used again and again, not entering a landfill until they are nothing but rags.
The Real Diaper Association is interested in learning more about the use of cloth diapers in daycare centers. Real Diaper Circle Leader Ann Maclean is collecting data to make the case for cloth diapers in daycare, and they need your help. Please take just a few minutes to let them know your experiences, so they can encourage more daycare centers across the USA to accept cloth diapers.
Based on the information collected, they will create an action plan. RDA Board member Angelique Mullen is a survey and data analyst. She will be aggregating survey results for Ann. The results of their research, along with the proposed plan, will first be shared with those who participated in the survey. No one’s personal information will be shared, and only Ann and Angelique will have access to the raw data. Together we can make a positive and permanent change!
Please spend 5 minutes to take the cloth diapers in daycare survey now on the RDA website. http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/daycare_survey.php
If you have questions, please contact Ann Maclean. You don’t have to be a member of Real Diaper Association to participate. Feel free to share the survey with others.
I'm truly honored to have you as a new friend. I look forward to getting to know you and to our friendship. Please stay in touch!

Personally, I hate parking lots --- but we have so many of them! Sitting there, doing nothing but heating up the atmosphere, so solar parking lots! Community-sustained, secure, renewable electricity! Bonus = community jobs! All over America! So I’m back at university learning GIS to analyze each town’s paved parking areas (Greensboro NC (pop 247,000) has 10.27 square miles of it that will power over 500,000 homes (every year) if covered with photovoltaics!) and I’m starting put_a_lid_on_it …………..……….
