Green things

I LOVE CLOTH DIAPERS!
We use cloth 90% of the time. For night time and when we go out we use chlorine free diapers and diaper wipes. I LOVE the Seventh Generation diapers. We used to use Pampers (before I knew that chlorine free diapers existed) and they were super thin, not very absorbent, and felt wet even if there was just a little bit of pee in them. The Seventh Generation diapers are SOOOOOO much better and just as affordable with Amazon's Subscribe & Save or through a wholesale coop like Frontier, which is how I get mine. 
FYI: If every household in the U.S. with babies replaced its diapers processed with chemicals containing chlorine with chlorine free diapers, in one year we could prevent 165,000 lbs. of chlorinated hydrocarbons from polluting our air, lakes, and streams. -Via the back of the Seventh Generation box of diapers

More on cloth diapers: Sure the initial outlay to get started using cloth diapers may seem expensive but it is only equal to a couple months of disposable diapers. They last almost forever if you take care of them. They are so much better for the environment. They come in all sorts of different style: prefolds (which is what Lennon is wearing in the pictures), all-in-ones, pocket diapers (an insert slides into the diaper and is removed for washing). When you are done with them you can resell them on Ebay or Craigslist and get back some of your money, also a good way to buy them, that's how I have gotten all mine!

These pics are just some that I found on Google to show you how cute and easy they are!
