The news is everywhere (who knows which of it is even true!) and I think it’s GREAT! I’m so glad that the “popular girls in the class” are making it cool to go green! Good for them! I’m thankful the media is picking up on this stuff and reporting about it. A lot of people would say the reason they’re going green is because they have the money to buy the products. Well… yes, I agree that going green can be more expensive, but it’s really not an all or nothing kind of thing. All the little green changes we make really do add up. Taking one less paper napkin, bringing cloth bags to the supermarket, buying organic when you can, reading the labels on personal products and buying less toxic cleaning products are little things we can all do which make a huge positive impact on our families health as well as the environment! Go Green(er)!

Nature BabyCare diapers…our new diaper of choice

We have officially moved to Nature BabyCare diapers, which were developed by a mom who decided that the world needed a better eco-friendly diaper. I felt good about using 7th Generation, but I feel even better about using these. These diapers are so earth friendly that even the packaging is compostable. Even better…the wipes package is too! Plus, I really like knowing that my baby isn’t sitting in a pile chemicals…how can that be safe?
Here is the scoop:

Features and Benefits of Nature BabyCare:
-Chlorine-free absorbent materials – does not contribute to dioxin pollution
-100 % compostable back sheet – NO plastic - reduce the greenhouse affect
-100 % compostable distribution layer – NO plastic - reduce the greenhouse affect
-100 % compostable consumer packaging – No plastic - reduce the greenhouse affect
-No latex, fragrance, or TBT (tributyl tin)

I’m not going to lie, they are definitely more expensive than regular disposable diapers, but for my husband and I eco-friendly diapers are a priority.

You can get them delivered right to your door from diapers.com!!
