Reducing our footprint at Wai Baby
In order to reduce our footprint on the planet, we at Wai Baby strive
to do the following:

- Seek out products which are manufactured in a environmentally sound process
- Minimize packaging of products and choose natural packaging when possible
- Conduct web-based and personal sales reducing energy needed for a storefront shop
- Facilitate the donation of used cloth diapers from customers to needy families
What is “wai”?
Wai (pronounced “why”) is the Thai word for a greeting consisting of a slight bow with the two hands pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. Practiced in India as “namaste”, this greeting denotes respect and recognizing a common divinity within the other person.
