Going Green with Green Disposable Diapers

Make the transition to green, eco-friendly diapers. I did! It's really great for the babies and toddlers because it's natural, free of chlorine, plastic and dyes. I just bought Seventh Generation, a hypo-allergenic, chlorine free diaper. My daughter Emily has eczema so this is even better for her not having those irritants and if you have a baby eczema you should not even think twice about making the switch. I kick myself that I haven't been using green disposable diapers for the last two and a half years but better to start now then never at all. I don't know why anyone would buy regular disposable diapers when there's a good natural alternative that is better for your child to wear and better for the environment.

According to FoxNews.com article How Green Are Disposable Diapers, 95% of parents use disposable diapers. Changing to green diapers can make an impact and benefit your child. If you buy organic food, BPA free bottles, plates and cups, then why would you buy regular diapers that are filled chemicals?

I found a great quick comparison of green diapers on Keen for Green if you want a little more info on what's available. I am very happy with Seventh Generation. I have used the Huggies Pure and Natural Diapers in the past which I think are good too and probably more readily available but I've made the switch to Seventh Generation. I was worried about how they would hold up and I'm happy to say I haven't had any issues and they are more green-friendly.

I just found out that Seventh Generation just started a rewards program.
