**I borrowed this picture from Bambina Mio. ** It may only speak to the US but stats like this don't seem to exist for Canadians. Disposable diapers are a form of one time use plastic. According to this by using ONE cloth diaper a day you will save over 900 disposable diapers. Which makes sense. Most kids are in diapers for 3 years. Let's do some basic math. 365days/year x 3 years of diapers = 1095 diapers... that's if we only use one diaper a day. So let say we change our kid 4 times a day.... 4380 diaper/per child using 4 diapers a day (we ALL know it's more than that!).... this can be mitigated simply by 20-30 cloth diapers and a washing routine. Start by buying or borrowing a second hand set of diapers. Save your self money in the long run. I paid about $8-10 per (cheap knockoff) new diaper and about $2/secondhand diaper (most of which I still had when I passed them on), you only need 30 max (but common they are adorable so you will probably buy more than that 😂). $30×10=$300. So you can spend $300 one time (plus the cost of water and washing detergent) and prevent 4380 one-time-use-plastic diapers/per child! PER CHILD! And then you can usually use the diapers for a second child with no extra cost!! So for $300, plus the cost of washing, could possibly save over 8000 diapers or MORE from going to the garbage piles. and if we responsibly take care of the diapers at the end of their life by composting the non-plasticsized fabric our footprint is tiny. #eclectichippie #savetheworld #banonetimeuseplastic #secondhand #clothdiapers #doitforthekids #saveouroceans #keepchemicalsoffourbabies #ididitsocanyou #canadastrong https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kRV4aAwAE/?igshid=asy8j03xr4cx

I can't say it enough. We could change so much if we just #banonetimeuseplastic and made producers responsible for their own packaging and product from production to disposal. #shopresponsibly #banplastic #canadastrong #wecansavetheplanet #savetheplanet #theplanetdoesntneedus #eclectichippie #doitforthekids https://www.instagram.com/p/B4jAFzSAXyG/?igshid=94ltshh9te63
