1- I would run compaigns for using real cloth diapers. I would educate mothers the advantages to using real diapers ( economics/ biohazard-waste/ positives for the baby ). I would Encourage government incentives for families that use real cloth diapers. I would Encourage disposable diaper companies to make biodegradable diapers ( such as an all paper diaper ) If enough families participate in my diaper project we could greatly decrease the hazardous waste in our landfills/ environment.
2. My community will be educated to all the positivie affects of using real diapers
3. It will significantly affect the environment today and in the future my decreasing the diapers/ hazardous waste in our community and in the environment in general.
4. I would education the public concerning the above./ petition congress to give financial incentives to families who use cloth diapers. . Contact/ write/ lobby the diaper companies to make a more biodegradable diaper.

What a fantastic idea. The real roadblock to getting moms to use cloth diaper is the perceived "convenience" factor of disposable diapers. I plan to use cloth diapers when my baby is born in two weeks, and when I have told this to others all I have gotten is a negative response, even after I explain the environmental and financial benefits of cloth diapers. Education is key.
