As we approach Earth Day 2011, demand thorough, accurate coverage in your local media of reusable cloth diapers, a solution that reduces waste by half for households with babies in cloth diapers. At minimum, cloth diapers have a 40% less impact on the environment than do single-use throwaway diapers.

That was the Question of the Day back in January when Judy Aagard of Tiny Tots Diaper Service in California approached us with the idea of doing a simultaneous cloth diaper change. It sounded fun, and we loved the idea of tying it to longer-term cloth diaper advocacy efforts, but we had never done anything like this before.
