Time For A Change (abridged version)

Did you know that disposable nappies (diapers) make up between 3% and 6% of our total landfill?

Time For A Change presents the benefits of using modern cloth nappies instead of disposables.

This documentary won the 2006 Manawatu Green Screen Awards and premiered in the 2006 Aotearoa Environmental Film Festival.

This is an abridged version of the filme. To see the full version please visit:

Must be that funny math again. If you are talking about size 3 or 4 that isn't the case.

Im 16 and wear nappies, i also look like im 9 yrs, i wear nothing but a diaper and a passy out in public, i also sit in the cart at walmart and have mom push me!, i also wear cloth , i think cloth diapers hurt, they rub aginst my skin to much, message me if you agree

Why more parents use disposable nappies for their babies rather than cloth (reusable) nappies is beyond me. Or how about cloth diapers for incontinent adults? Wouldn't it be better than having to buy adult diapers all the time only to use them just once and not wash them and use them again?

I am currently doing research to make a film about the impact of disposable diapers in the US. Have you actually made your film! I hope so. I would love to see it.

I am 20 and am in diapers full time. I have no control over my bladder or bowels. Because I am physically disabled the USA pays for my diapers and wipes every month. In fact they send them straight to my door.

Plastic diapers and wipes cost yearly over $2000.00 Vs cloth $700.00 yearly

Thanks for posting this video. I wish the U.S. would get a clue about this. If more parents switched to cloth, we would save so much landfill space. Not to mention the natural resources and crude oil that goes into creating disposables. My country is in love with disposable products that are supposedly more convenient. I don't want my son growing up with a landfill in is backyard because people "need" throw-away products! I am so glad to see someone concerned as I am. Great video!

Hurray! I hadn't seen this video before doing my own... I'm actually going to be working on a full fledged documentary about it here in the US soon! Great job on your video.. I LOVED the pile of trash bags behind the baby. Very compelling!
