Mary Jo is a full-time high school Mathematics teacher, owner of Baby Bongos (WNY's cloth diaper connection) and mother of two toddler boys. She and her husband are always learning and trying new and inexpensive ways to integrate green living into their daily lives. As a result of their cloth diapering journey, Baby Bongos was created.

Her company's goals are to drum up cloth diaper awareness, offer hands-on classes, make cloth diapers accessible and affordable for Western NY and to teach others how easy and fun cloth diapering can be.

"Our culture is raised on conveniences rather than balances. By that, I mean the Earth's delicate balances need to be considered with every action we take as individuals, families, organizations, businesses and nations. It would be a remarkable improvement for our environment if our mainstream culture raised us with the awareness of how our choices effect each of us and our physical world." ~ Mary Jo Giufre
