Subscribe and Save (Money and Earth)

Put aside the question of whether cloth diapers are greener than disposable diapers. Let's say you are a new parent and have decided disposable diapers are the only option. How can you still be green?

One option is Seventh Generation chlorine-free diapers. Seventh Generation has a whole raft of earth friendlier products. We've found their diapers to be fantastic for our boys. They're the only ones that keep the diaper rash away, they fit great, and they don't leak. I like that they are simple and free of unnecessary dyes and pictures. Our family doctor exclaimed "Those are some good looking diapers!" the first time she saw them.

Seventh Generation tell us...

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 40-count package of size 3 conventional diapers with our chlorine-free diapers, we could avoid 133,000 pounds of pollution from entering the environment.

The only problem with Seventh Generation diapers is they're more expensive than the rest. That's where the subscribe part comes in. Amazon allows you to save 15% when you subscribe to things like diapers. As an example, you can get 136 size 4 delievered to your door for 35.69. This can be cheaper than Pampers at your local Target, even with a coupon! Since this is a subscription, you don't have to think about it. I love not having to run to the store just for diapers.

Of course there are greener options for diapers, but if you just want to do what you can without too much hassle, I recommend Amazon and Seventh Generation.
