Text taken from the "Change 3 Things" Facebook page:
"Why three diapers? We are busy parents too and really appreciate achievable, manageable goals. Changing three cloth diapers a day is something that almost any parent can do (stay at home or working). Do my 3 cloth diapers per day really matter? Yes, it matters!
. . .
"How does it really change me? Every cloth diaper saves about $.25 (depending on what brand of disposables you buy). If you save $.75 a day, it may not seem like much, but those three diapers can save you approximately $260 over the upcoming year. In addition to the savings per diaper, you can save yourself time, money and gas for those emergency trips to the store when you run out of diapers.
"As parents, we know how frustrating it is to do those repetitive tasks like dishes, laundry, picking up toys, and changing diapers only to turn around and do it again a short time later. By joining the Change 3 Things revolution, you can take one of those repetitive tasks and turn it into an opportunity to create lasting impact that your two year old can’t undo in five minutes.
. . .
"One baby in disposables could contribute as much as one ton of waste to a local landfill! Your participation in this revolution of change could prevent the disposal of as much as 55 million pounds of waste."
Will you take the challenge with me?

And if you really want to change things for the better, hang those diapers -- and your other clothes -- on a line or a rack and cut down the use of the clothes dryer!
amen! Love my solar powered clothes drier!
I am so behind in my eco-friendliness. I am glad you are trying to do a few things. The hubs tries to encourage us to recycle. We get a little of that done. Hats off my friend!

Sunshine helps sanitize the diapers as well. :)
