The Lifestyle & Features section of MyWestTexas.com featured an article on Shelley Tween and her cloth diaper service, Healthy Diapers.
How did Tween get started in her cloth diapering advocacy?
“The more Tween researched, the more she wondered about the chemicals used to make disposable diapers. And she couldn’t get past the statistics she now rattles off to other parents, like how Mothering magazine reported that 7 billion gallons of oil are used each year to produce plastic diapers, nearly four times the amount of oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve.
Besides, Tween says, the concept itself is odd. Parents would never dress their babies in plastic T-shirts. So why wrap plastic around their bottoms?”
