From the Editor:

baby boy asleep

I love little babies, but boy do they poop a lot, and there are lots of babies around, which means a heck of a lot of dirty, disposable diapers end up in our land fill sites. :(

Our land fills are becoming increasingly full, and where are we supposed to get rid of our garbage once we fill up all available space? 

There are alternatives to being such a disposable society, all we need is some encouragement to change our way of thinking and of course business’s that are more then happy to help us change by offering us the services we need. 

One such business is www.comfycotton.ca located in Markham and serving an area from Courtice to Kitchener. The following is from their website homepage: 

Comfy Cotton is a Canadian company that opened its doors in 1988 and grew to be the largest and oldest diaper service in Toronto and GTA. Located in Markham we serve communities from Courtice (east) to Stoney Creek, Kitchener (west) and from Toronto (south) to Newmarket (north).

In the 12000 square foot plant, a staff of more than 22 people process over 4,000,000 lbs. per year of soiled laundry. Laundry services are provided for the retail division, (families committed to the use of cotton diapers for their babies), and for the institutional division, a combination of Nursing Homes and Long Term Care Facilities.

  • Comfy Cotton is an expression of our commitment to babies, the environment and the communities we serve.
  • We strongly believe that cloth diapers are the healthiest, most comfortable and the fastest way for a baby to grow out of diapers.
  • Cotton diapers are the only ecologically responsible alternative to “disposable” diapers, and the best way to protect the environment your child will inherit.
  • No need for expensive landfills sites to bury the ugly reminder of our misguided sense of convenience.
Please visit their website for more information or to find out how you can get this fabulous service right at your own front door…. It’s good for baby, good for the environment and good for babies future… ☺
