Phoenix, AZ, April 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Bum Luxury, http://www.bumluxury.com will be host to the Phoenix site of an international cloth diaper changing event taking place on Saturday, April 21, 2012, the day before Earth Day and during International Cloth Diaper Awareness Week. In its second year with over 305 sites in sixteen countries, The Great Cloth Diaper Change event will attempt to break last year’s Guinness World Record™ of 5,026 cloth diapers changed simultaneously.[1]
“Each year billions of disposable diapers enter landfills where it takes hundreds of years for them to decompose, if ever,” says Heather McNamara, Executive Director of the Real Diaper Association. “Building off the success of last year’s event with 127 locations in five countries, we hope to show the entire world that cloth diapers are a real option for today’s modern families, particularly catching the eye of expecting and new parents who may be seeking more planet-friendly and affordable alternatives to disposable diapers.”
To date, there are more than twenty five mom and baby pairs registered to participate in the Phoenix event. The Great Cloth Diaper Change will take place at 9AM at Midwives Rising located at 531 E. Lynwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85004. In addition to the Great Cloth Diaper Change world-recording setting activity, there will also be various event booths with cloth diapers, books, and other natural and green living companies and other family-friendly activities.
