There is a time and place in this world for assigning blame and assessing accountability. When faced with a huge problem, a problem bigger than any one person or one group or one political party - when faced with a
disaster - it is often far more wise to first put all of that aside to focus on a solution.
The creator of
FuzziBunz cloth diapers has founded the Cloth for the Coast effort aimed at collecting used cloth diapers, burp rags and baby blankets for wildlife rescue and cleanup. Mother of Eden, LLC, the makers of FuzziBunz, is located in Louisiana, so the effects of the oil spill disaster certainly hit close to home.
Do you have items you can donate?
Cloth for the Coast has a
Facebook page set up which is updated regularly with details about the program.
Or, simply send donations of used cloth diapers, baby blankets, towels, burp cloths to:
FuzziBunz Diapers
ATTN: CFC
315 Weeks St
New Iberia, LA 70560
Donated diapers must be free of snaps, elastic and velcro (basically, prefolds and inserts will be used in the cleanup effort). However, if you send diapers with snaps, elastic or velcro the Cloth for the Coast volunteers will sort them out and forward them to a shelter that accepts cloth diaper donations.
What a great way to repurpose old cloth items, and what a great excuse to clean out your diaper and rag stash. Please consider taking some time this week to send a few items to Cloth for the Coast - every little bit helps.
Another day, another guest blog. Today you can find me over at The Crafty Nest where cloth diapers are the subject of the week. I dispelled a few common cloth diaper myths, so be sure you don't miss that. There are plenty of other cloth diaper topics going on for Cloth Diaper Week, including some great contests and an opportunity to show off photos of your stash of cloth diaper fluff.
