To do this, several people in the cloth diapering movement, including Janice Miller in Caledon, have joined forces with the non-profit Real Diaper Association to participate in the third annual Great Cloth Diaper Change international event taking place April 20; two days before Earth Day. Each year, billions of disposable diapers enter landfills and it will take centuries for them to decompose. The Great Cloth Diaper Change is aimed at making modern parents aware and encourage them to choose a more planet-friendly alternative. To date, there are more than 136 locations in the U.S.A. and eight other countries, including Chile, Australia and Mexico. The combined sites are already on their way to attempt to break last year's Guinness World Record of 8,251 cloth diapers changed simultaneously at 189 locations in 11 countries. The Guinness World Record requires each Great Diaper Change site to have a minimum of 25 participants in order to count toward breaking the current world record. In Caledon, It's anticipated there will be at least 30 babies who will get “changed” at the event that day, starting at 10:30 a.m. at Eureka Kids, 5072 Winston Churchill Blvd. As well, local businesses will be present and more tables are available.
