Are We On A Mission?
Thursday, December 9th, 2010I’m very pleased my wife and I started Real Nappies – it was a struggle at first, like I’m sure most businesses find and there was the odd time when we wondered if we’d done the right thing. Seven years later we know we did and now sometimes I get so passionate about this diaper business I sometimes think I’m on a mission.
From time to time I get a bit carried away with myself and start thinking what a huge difference that could be made if everyone on the planet started using cloth instead of disposables. A family using disposables would have to put out an extra couple of sacks of garbage out each week full of diapers, more if they had 2 children. Multiply this by the amount of households in the U.S. or even the world and you have a staggering amount of waste that’s increasing in size all the time going to landfill that will sit there for hundreds of years!
So how do we get everyone on the planet using cloth diapers? This is the mission, we have chosen to accept it! Is it daa daa da da, daa daa da da MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?
Well to do this we would have to go up against the enormous multinational companies who manufacture disposables and also at the same time convince all the people of this world to use cloth. Perhaps this is mission impossible but we are trying, and I don’t think it does any harm to think BIG!
So yes, I guess we are on a mission – but one we have to be patient with.
