Cloth diapers? They’ve made a comeback. And if what’s happening this coming Saturday, April 23 works out as planned, they could be on more wee fannies sooner than expected as an example of one little way in which we can all help our environment. We’re speaking about the Earth Day Diaper Exchange, an attempt to set a Guinness World Record by simultaneously changing diapers across the globe, on all continents (excepting Antarctica). According to the rules for the occasion, all entries pay a dollar to the Real Diaper Association, and ensure they’re at their local diaper changing stations, with watches all synchronized, at 12 noon EDT. On the mark, each baby will then be changed from a cloth or disposable diaper into a reusable cloth diaper that is commercially available. All babies and toddlers being changed must be 39 inches or shorter, and paired to a single adult participant. In other words… NASCAR-like changing teams are NOT allowed. Locally, there will be mass changings at New Baby New Paltz at 5 Plattekill Avenue in New Paltz, at Waddle n Swaddle at 32 Raymond Avenue near Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, at 41 E. Market Street in Rhinebeck, and at the Calvary United Methodist Church, 15 Ridge Place in Latham. “The goal of the Real Diaper Association is to put more babies in cloth diapers,” notes the Real Diaper Association, one of the U.S. sponsors of this global event with over 400 sites participating, as of press time. “To do this we aim to create a cultural shift in understanding cloth diapers-their environmental impact, their ease of use, their accessibility, and their acceptability.”
