I don't know what it is about cloth diapering...but it has completely changed my (our) thoughts/feelings/actions on so many things. It has been my gateway to green! When we switched to cloth wipes, Charlie said - "this is it. We're going off the grid, aren't we?" We have a LONG way to go, but here are a few changes we have already made in our home:
- cloth diapers
- using a clothes line
- cloth wipes
- home made wipe solution
- canvas grocery bags
- energy-efficient light bulbs
- natural laundry detergent
- breastfeeding
- stainless steel water bottles
- cloth napkins
- programmed thermostat
- transitioned to commercial green cleaners
- recycle most everything
- donate unwanted items
Some changes we are in the process of researching or planning on making in the near future:
- switching to natural make-up
- making our own baby food
- making our own cleaning products
- decreasing processed food intake
- buying locally
- making a compost pile
- mama cloth
- organic lawn care
Some changes we "should" make, but are unable/unwilling to do at this time:
- eliminating processed food intake
- driving hybrid cars
- becoming vegetarian
- decreasing water usage
- family cloth
