Using cloth diapers is easy. But sometimes, it can be difficult to convince others to feel the same. When it comes to persuading people to WANT to use cloth diapers, what is the biggest challenge? Is it the poop? Is it the misconception that cloth diaper systems haven’t evolved over the last 20 years? Is it the thought of endless laundry? The upfront cost? Whatever it may be, the reality is that modern cloth diaper systems like bumGenius are just as user friendly as disposables and also provide a ton of benefits. Real Diaper Week begins April 19 and we want
Monday, April 22 is Earth Day, a time to celebrate things that encourage environmental responsibility. Cloth diapers are a great way to reduce your environmental impact every day, on Earth Day and beyond! That’s why we began Change 3 Things. We hope you will join us and pledge to change (at least) three cloth diapers each day. We chose three diapers because we feel it’s an attainable goal. Even if your daycare doesn’t accept cloth diapers, you can change three cloth diapers each day. Even three cloth diapers a day can have significant impact. Are you up for the challenge?
One of the many reasons that parents may choose to cloth diaper their baby is to reduce waste and help the environment. We know that with each cloth diaper you change instead of a disposable, you prevent landfill waste, but exactly how much is saved every day from local landfills?

We set up a Facebook page to track the progress and even have a form available on the website so you can report exactly
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
Last weekend, many of you celebrated Earth Day in lots of great ways – festivals, crafts, The Great Cloth Diaper Change and more.

Since we began tracking cloth diaper changes on March 3, 2011, together we have changed more than 500,000 cloth diapers; that more than HALF A MILLION cloth diapers changed in a few weeks’ time!

We’ve created a t-shirt and a silicone band that you can wear. Our hope is that these materials serve as conversation starters. We also have designed Change 3 Things Share Cards with some quick facts
