, who grew up at Mother & Child, and whose entrepreneurial spirit sprang into high gear with this venture, sells the work of designers so unbelievably talented, you'll do a double take when you discover they're handmade.

GDiaper

gDiapers loves the Earth.

For the last 40 years there have been but two choices in diapers. Cloth or disposable. That's it. Now gDiapers offers a third option. Flushable. gDiapers puts waste where it belongs, in the toilet. Not the landfill.
gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. In fact, flushables are so gentle on the Earth you can even garden compost the wet ones in one compost cycle, approximately 50 - 150 days. Just think of the standing ovation you'll get from the planet.
Note: several of you have asked us to carry those adorable multi-colored gDiaper covers that you have seen in magazines.  Well, they are not yet available to retailers.  We have the starter kits and the refills in stock (a new shipment is due any day) but you'll have to get the covers directly from gDiapers for now.

A message from Badger:
"We never use chemicals, preservatives, synthetics, GMO's or any of the other bad stuff that you read so much about. Badger ingredients are as close to their natural source as we can get and they are rich in complex vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and anti-oxidants. You can feel, sense and smell the difference.

Green Lifestyle -
Replace your sponge and use the sponge instead of a paper towel.

weekly ideas for making small changes that make a difference

Making a sponge is a very challenging process, and one that only a handful of producers undertake.  Cellulose sheets (100% tree fiber) are mixed with cotton and heated into a liquid that is poured into large molds.  Adjusting the salt particles added to the mix creates those familiar holes.  The mix is then dried as a giant block, sliced into various shapes, rinsed sparkling clean, combined with an antibacterial agent, and finally packaged.  This process can lead to a lot of waste.  Billions of sponges are produced every year.  An industry that big has an impact on the world around it.

At TWIST, they take special care to make sure 99.97% of all our waste is reused in production.  Also, their cellulose is sourced from renewable tree farms.  They are committed to continually improving their production process to minimize their effect on the environmen
