Change 3 Things Giveaway!
July 19, 2011 5:13 am

It’s been a little over 4 months since we launched our Change 3 Things campaign. In that time, Change 3 Things participants have changed more than 3,250,000 cloth diapers. That’s more than 3 million diapers that are not going into landfills! This means that together, participants have prevented waste equivalent to more than 1,895 babies wearing disposable diapers for a year. That is an amazing amount of impact in local landfills by parents who commit to change at least 3 cloth diapers a day.
We want to spread the word about Change 3 Things, so for today’s giveaway, share Change 3 Things with a friend. It’s easy. However you choose to share, whether it’s through social media, e-mail, text or phone, just tell someone about Change 3 Things today! Leave a comment on this post telling us who you shared with (first name or relationship is fine) and how you shared.
Winners will be drawn at random and will each receive a Change 3 Things t-shirt, a bumGenius 4.0 cloth diaper for you and an Econobum trial pack to get your friend started on their cloth diapering journey.
Eligible entries must be posted by Wednesday, July 20, 2011. U.S. Residents only. Void where prohibited by law. No purchase necessary to win. Winners will be drawn at random on Thursday, July 21, 2011 and notified via e-mail. (Please make sure Cotton Babies staff can see your e-mail in your comment or through your Blogger profile page.)

I have shared about this on Facebook and I have also convinced my friend to use cloth when she has her baby in February.

I told my friend Pam about it through Facebook!
I discovered this campaign a couple weeks ago and it inspired me to try cloth diapers. Originally, I thought I would try 3 a day, but I found it so easy that I have fully converted 🙂 We are now 100% cloth! Thanks for giving me the confidence to take the leap!
I have shared this information with my friend, Kate. She is hesitant to try but I’m thinking if she had some supplies she would be more willing! Help me help Kate!
I posted on facebook and my cousin will be cding very soon:)mimihol@yahoo.com
I posted on FB too, but also I’m always telling friends about the great products made by cottonbabies! I have converted at least 8 people to cloth since I started using cloth diapers….i’ve even started a “stash” of diapers to lend people who want to try cloth diapers without investing the money in it until they know how it functions.

I shared via email with my best friend, who has two kids. teresemcilvain@gmail.com. I don’t think my email will show up in my comment above.
I sent an email to my best friend who is a great candidate for cloth diapering (home washing machines, a second kid on the way, very granola, etc.).
I spoke over the phone today with my best friend who is 37 weeks pregnant and shared with her the change 3 things and all about cottonbabies.com. We are both expecting and are exactly 6 weeks apart, she is having #4 and I’m having #5!!! I’ve been cloth diapering since #2 and I think I’ve finally got her convinced on giving cloth a try. Thanks cottonbabies for making it easier for me to share the wealth.

I told my friend who just had a baby 3 weeks ago. She is very interested trying out cloth.
I just wrote a facebook note and tagged several of my momma friends with diapered babies who have mentioned their interest in cloth diapers before. I usually get interested responses when I post about my cloth diapering online, so maybe someone will bite soon! 🙂

Talked to one of my rugby teammates, Alex, about cloth and she’s interested but concerned. Someone gave her a couple of gdiapers (way back at her shower) that she’s tried a few times but wasn’t crazy about buying the disposable liners. Her son just turned one and I think she’s interested in trying a different brand but worried about leaks, water usage, laundry time, etc.
I shared with my cousin who’s due in October!

I shared with my friend Stasha about cloth diapers and Change 3 Things
Started a Cloth diaper swap with a mom group that was an info session as well. It was a comfortable way for mom’s to get together, share and learn. We are still doing the swap every few months and each time new moms come and try out cloth! very exciting that is is catching one. It also helps expose different birth options to the moms as well…lots of natural parenting and going green in this group!
I shared about cloth diapers yesterday with a friend on facebook!
I shared the most recent “Change 3 Things Challenge” post on my Facebook wall for all to see. And I am always telling people about cloth diapers. I have several friends who are expecting their first babies right now and would love to share an Econobum pack with them!

I emailed my best friend from high school, who considered using cloth with her firstborn (born before I made the switch to cloth myself), but didn’t because it seemed too complicated. I bet I can help her figure it out for her 2nd baby! 🙂

I texted my sister who is pregnant with her 6th. She has 3 in diapers right now and could really benefit from using cloth!

I shared with my sister and several friends via phone and email. I am trying to convert as many people as I can to cloth diapering. We cloth diaper 100% of the time and love it! I wish I would have known about this for my older children, I hate to think about how much waste we put into the landfills before we switched to cloth.
I shared on facebook and told a women in my store today with a young baby.

I shared this with my best friend, all of Facebook, and my cloth-diaper-forum friends.
Its amazing how many of my friends cloth diaper—about half of them after seeing how much I loved them! More of my friends cloth diaper now than disposable! I take pride in every friend I convert! I converted one more last week by giving her a few old ones to try!
Its starting to be surprising when I meet someone who doesn’t know about cloth! Almost every time I mention cloth diapering now, someone says “Oh, so and so cloth diapers too!” I’m loving how popular its becoming! People thought I was NUTS for doing it 2 years ago. People actually bought me disposable diapers “just in case” when I was pregnant with my son! HA!!! I showed them! 2 years and counting!
I shared this information with my husband (old school style–we talked in person). He was so impressed with the numbers: 3.2 million diapers in four months!! We full time cloth diapered our baby. I know he got tired of it at times, but now that it’s over (YAY POTTY!) and he sees this and knows what a difference we made, neither of us have ANY regrets about it!!

I tweeted, and I’ve also spoken to my brother about it 2-3 times. Every time I talk about CD, he just raises his eyebrows and once declared it as “Gross,” but he and his wife don’t have children yet. http://twitter.com/#!/mummytocharis/status/93345884951154689
