It's not pretty if the trash gets left outside very long. Plus we burn our trash, a big no-no earth, i know, but spoozies don't burn. At all. I mean they melt a little, but the poop is still there for the skunks and racoons, and etc. Yeah, that's the real reason we switched. I don't like skunks or racoons, or our dog chewing on dirty diapers.Dairygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915041681988901854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-84022636141414731742013-07-09T23:31:00.126-04:002013-07-09T23:31:00.126-04:00I love this post!

I choose cloth for my third son simply because I had no clue how I was going to afford $20+ a week on diapers. After doing the math I discovered that I could save a fortune! I scrounged up the money to get started and now I am saving $20+ a week for less than an hour of my time. They paid for themselves in about 6 months. The doctor called me a trend setter and others admire me for saving the environment. (I am no longer ignorant and am happy to do my part.) I guess being broke is trendsetting. Works for me! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-56946082028719050162013-07-09T05:34:31.651-04:002013-07-09T05:34:31.651-04:00amen, amen! we only live in the country in the mid...amen, amen! we only live in the country in the midwest so no bears, but coyotes, foxes, and dogs that no one ever seems to keep tied up go through and destroy our trash. Not to mention the crows. they like tampon applicators, too. ugh. nothing is safe and I was 100% thrilled to be using cloth when we moved from town out to the boonies. We still have trash pickup once a week but if it snows then the trucks don't run. I have a 'take it up the hill' thing -- it's a steep hill. All in all, I'm glad for baskets of clean fluff, not bags and bags of stinky sposies!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.com
