Home composting is easy and can save you money and reduce your impact on the environment by reducing the amount of waste put out for the collection. Recycle Now offers a wide range of information about composting and how it works.
Disposable nappies can take 500 years to degrade in landfill. They also cost more than reusable nappies, even considering washing. And the cost benefits double if you have more than one child. Please visit Cambridgeshire Reusable Nappies where you can find more information about real nappies, their benefits and costs, as well as trial kits.
Buying pre-loved nappies reduces your impact even further as you are not requiring new resources to produce new nappies. They are usually also much cheaper than new ones. There are a few reselling Facebook sites such as The Nappy Lady Buying and Selling Page and Close Parent pop-in - buy, sell and trade.
