Cloth Diaper Enthusiasts preparing to set Guinness World Record on April 23, 2011

Guinness world Record to be set this week for most cloth diapers changed at the same time - thousands participating worldwide on Earth Day. End Quote

San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) April 19, 2011 - Cloth diapers have come a long way in the past ten years. An event, called the Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 is creating buzz in North America and all over the world, will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2011. The Great Cloth Diaper Change (http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com) will set a Guinness World Record for the most cloth diapers ever changed simultaneously.

Parents, child birth educators, lactation consultants, pediatricians and environmentally responsible businesses agree that it is not environmentally or financially justified to continue sending billions of disposable diapers to landfills every year where it will take hundreds of years for them to decompose. Heather McNamara, of the Real Diaper Association, says that "our local volunteers are finding growing numbers of parents coming to find out about cloth diapers, whether it be for environmental, financial, or health reasons - - or even because these diapers are just plain cute!" It is the hope of the organizers that this event will be an eye opener and an inspiration for expecting and new parents to use cloth diapers, a more planet-friendly alternative that also saves parents substantial money.

How it all started
The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 was initially the brain child of Judy Aagard of Tiny Tots in California, as a way to show our country and the world that cloth diapers are a real option for today's families. After initial contacts with Guinness World Records™ she saw the potential to help further enhance the cloth diapering movement, while setting a world record. The response has been above and beyond expectations. It is evident that cloth diapering has a formidable following not just in North America, but truly around the world. What better way to celebrate Earth Day 2011?
