Raising Awareness

It has been a while since I have written on my blog times seems to be flying by. I have done a few chatts at community groups and it always seems badly recieved informing parents that they have to wash their nappies at home being the main objection!
Although I have just recieved some positive feedback from one community centre and that is such a good feeling knowing that more parents are turning to using real nappies.
If parents bought 20 birth to potty pocket nappies, say the most expensive brand at £20 a nappy, they would set you back £400. That would save parents a whopping £924.00!
Disposable nappies make up aboit 4% of household waste and they take 500 years to degrade.
If Henry the VIII where in nappies they would still be degrading now! YUK
We need to be more RESPONSIBLE.
Even if you only used 1 cloth nappy a day in place of a disposable that would sae 730 nappies going into landfill from just 1 baby! that is a staggering amount!
