There are so many ways in which we could easily reduce waste without any effect on our quality of life, just by doing things differently. Of course we love real nappies (which prevent 4.5-7,000 disposable nappies per baby going to landfill or incineration) but we want to hear what else you do - or would like to do if you could.
The prize? A copy of Amber Hatch's wonderful book

I reduce waste by using reusable nappies, recycling and by keeping a compost heap on my allotment.
ReplyDeleteI prefer doing it old-fashioned way, like my mother taught me. Anyway, I'm going to buy the book and discover lots of interesting) I've read really good description here freelance house
ReplyDeleteI take my Ecover washing up bottle to The People's Supermarket to be refilled. I also try not to buy bottles of water but refill when I see a tap/water fountain. I just wish it wasn't so hard. All over London you see public water taps that no longer work.
ReplyDeleteI use reusable nappies and washable wipes.
ReplyDeleteAnd a flannel to wash baby's face after eating.
And when its warm enough, I feed baby in her nappy, as this saves tonnes of washing! (although it does mean baby needs a bath, i'm sure this uses less water than the washing machine)
And to save wasting food we eat the same meals. So one pot of porridge, risotto, etc. I take a few spoonfuls for baby. If she wants more she can have it, if not I eat the lot!

ReplyDeleteOkay, we're just collating the entries and we found this one from Nicky in the email inbox:
ReplyDeleteI put my 5.5 month old son on the toilet after every feed to see if he wants to wee or poo. We are now seeing more poos than not land in the toilet. It's amazing! Less wipes, less washing of nappies & a very big grin on our 5 month old's face. It's definitely worth the effort.
