Our mission...
ThirstiesŪ line of cloth diapers were launched in an ongoing effort to
offer quality diapers at affordable prices. Our mission is to make
it easy and affordable for every family to choose cloth. We are very proud
of the fact that all of our products are now USA made by a group of very
talented women many of whom work in the comfort and convenience of their
own homes.
We use only the best of US sourced components to ensure your diapers will
last wash after wash and provide the very best in comfort and leakproof
cloth diapering.
What makes us GREEN?
In addition to offering a green consumer
product, we strive to keep the carbon footprint of our business to a
minimum. Here is how we do it...
-
Packaging materials are
recycled and new packaging is made from the highest post-consumer
content available.
-
All of our printing is done
on recycled paper with 100% post-consumer content.
-
Our office and
packing/shipping space (where we spend most of our days) is heated by
solar hot air collectors and supplemented by a pellet stove on cloudy
days. Luckily it is sunny in this part of Colorado 325 days of the
year, and the average high temperature in the winter is 50F (11C) so we
only need to use about 1/4 ton pellets each winter.
-
Our 1000 sq ft overstock
area is heated with strategically placed southern exposure windows to
allow for passive solar.
-
Only high-efficiency Energy
Star rated compact fluorescent light bulbs are used.
-
Lights are turned off when
rooms are not in use and we shut down all computers and components
completely at the end of each day.
-
All of our fabric and
components are sourced as locally as possible thereby cutting down on
unnecessary transportation.
-
We choose fabrics that dry
quickly and remain soft even when hung to dry to encourage our customers
to retire their dryers.
-
All cutting and sewing is
also done in Colorado so as to keep transport carbon to a minimum.
