1 Pack=1 Vaccine



Pampers and UNICEF joined forces and started an international initiative to prevent women and babies from preventable diseases.

"For every specially-marked pack of Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive, Swaddlers, Cruisers, and Easy Ups diapers and Pampers Sensitive, Swipers, and Clean ‘n Go wipes purchased in the U.S. and Canada from April 7 through August 31, 2008, the Pampers brand will donate 5¢ to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to provide one tetanus vaccine to a woman in the developing world.* The goal for the U.S. campaign is 45 million vaccines, which would bring the total global donations to more than 70 million vaccines."

Personally, I am a supporter of Seventh Generation diapers, but maybe this is a reason to switch until August to Pampers? If only they would make them chlorine free, fragrance free and latex free, then they would have cornered the market. So, it's a little of a debate for me because I want to do what I can to eliminate toxic chemicals in production that harm our environment, but I also want to help save our environment (meaning PEOPLE, who are our environment, as well).

Either way, Pampers is doing a great thing. We should support their efforts. If you are a Pampers lover, stock up now!

Happy Tuesday,
Niki
