Earth Week 2013: Great Cloth Diaper Change at greenberries

On Saturday, April 20, 2013, at exactly 11:00 am, greenberries was the premiere host location in Columbia, Maryland and the surrounding areas for The Great Cloth Diaper Change. Last year, in 2012, 256 locations in 15 countries held SIMULTANEOUS events to break the world record for the most reusable cloth diapers changes simultaneously. 

This year we were able to make this event a huge success and increase awareness of reusable cloth diapers. Though the “official” results for the world record will not be made until all evidence gets turned in and counted, we here at greenberries know that we had our biggest turn out of parent/child duos ever! 

We hosted over 70 parents and their children at our Columbia, Maryland location and we had our 2^nd biggest day on record in store sales! Greenberries was generously given donations for goodie bags and raffle prizes by some amazing local and national companies. Without their contributions we would not have been able to award 50 of our participants with an entire box loaded with everything from samples & coupons to diaper covers & bibs. 

Our raffles ranged from a session with a photographer to a natural cleaning basket worth over $55 from Mrs. Meyers. There were refreshments and a professional photographer from Joanna Robbins Photography with a cute photo opportunity for families who participated.

It was an epic day for greenberries and while the staff had a blast, we hope our participants did as well! If you joined us, what was your favorite part of the day? If you did not get a chance to join us this year, who’s looking forward to next year?!?!
