With 274 sites in 16 countries like Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, England, Finland, India, Japan, Mxico, Per, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Spain, the United States and Zimbabwe (on 6 continents), GCDC will endeavour to promote cloth diapering at events around the globe, with each event holding a ceremonial cloth diaper change and the total number of global cloth diaper changes being tallied after the 2-day event.

 

Each year billions of disposable diapers enter landfills, where it takes hundreds of years for them to decompose, if ever. In eight successful years of the Great Cloth Diaper Change event, participants have shown 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 100 cloth-diaper-changer and child pairs registered to participate in the event.

The Bengaluru event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on 27th April at the CForCat Early Years, Karthik Nagar, Marathahalli. The Chennai event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on 28th April, Sunday at the The Bloomingdale clubhouse, Pammal.

In addition to the simultaneous cloth diaper change at our event, there will also be various family-friendly activities and booths by other baby-friendly companies.
