- Napa, CA (1888PressRelease) March 31, 2011 - Cloth Diaper Enthusiasts preparing to set Earth Friendly World Record on April 23, 2011
-Amazing Global Response to US initiated Earth Day Celebration
Cloth diapers have come a long way in the past ten years. An event, called the Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011, already creating buzz not only in North America, but all over the world, will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2011 in locations all around the globe. The Great Cloth Diaper Change (http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com) will set a 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.
Help set a Guinness World Record™! Follow the challenge on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/GreatClothDiaperChange and Twitter www.twitter.com/ClothRecord and, for frequent updates, greatclothdiaperchange.com. Date and Time is Saturday, April 23 at 9AM Pacific / 12PM Eastern ‐ which means that on a global level some CD enthusiasts will gather and do the diaper change in the middle of the night. Exact information is available on a local level so that all participants, no matter where they live, can find the appropriate location and time.
A multitude of locations will be available for families all over the U.S and around the globe, across the ocean, in Europe, Australia, and the list keeps growing. Parents, care givers, educators, retailers, playgroups, day care centers - anybody can apply to become an organizer and host a location. Each group/location will have a minimum of 25 participants to count for the record. Each local event will be unique, you won't want to miss the local action in Napa! Organizers, Angela Powell of BumRite Diapers and Missy Konig are eager to be a part of setting a Guinness World Record™ and letting the world know that cloth diapering rocks. The Great Cloth Diaper Change - Napa Valley will take place at John F Kennedy Memorial Park, snacks and refreshments will be provided and items will be raffled with donations going to the Real Diaper Association. All families with children in diapers and under 39" are welcome to participate. We encourage all cloth diaper users to join us as well as those wanting to make the switch from disposables to cloth and those just curious about cloth diapers.
This event is part of a larger (and growing) movement. Participants may contribute $1 (or more) at all North American events to benefit the Real Diaper Association, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to help families across the U.S. and Canada find and use reusable cloth diapers. We will also be collecting previously used or unwanted cloth diapers to donate to the Cloth Diaper Foundation that supplies qualifying families with cloth diapers for their children
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?
Angela Powell, Chief Bum of BumRite Cloth Diaper Company in Napa, California began exploring the more ecofriendly diapering options just before the birth of her second child. That was the beginning of her obsession of everything cute, cloth and fluffy! She found that starting her cloth diaper business would allow her to educate and spread the knowledge that cloth diapering is easy and necessary for a cleaner planet for our future generation.
The Great Cloth Diaper Change - Napa Valley will begin at 9am on Saturday, April 23rd 2011 at John F Kennedy Memorial Park near the Egret picnic area. We welcome all of Napa to come out and participate or watch as we help set the world record for the number of simultaneous cloth diaper changes. Monetary donations will be accepted for the Real Diaper Association to help educate the world of the benefits of using cloth diapers and diaper donations will be accepted for the Cloth Diaper Foundation to help families in need get a jump start on cloth diapering their children.
