Real Nappy Flashmob

Really excited about the first ever London Real Nappy Flashmob. It's TOMORROW, Friday 8 March. On the Southbank.

This is hosted by the Hackney Real Nappy Network as a Climate Week Event to draw attention to the fact that the carbon impacts of real nappies can be up to 40% lower than those of disposable nappies. With the additional bonus of being Zero Waste.

Sorry to those of you who can't be there because you are working. But there's another opportunity coming up to show off your baby in a real nappy. Camden-based Nappy Ever After will be celebrating its 10th birthday at Coram's Fields on Sunday 24 March. As part of the event there will be a real nappy fashion show.

And if you're not able to come to that, there is the Great Cloth Nappy Change at the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood on Saturday 20 April with another real nappy fashion show. So save the date! And if you live in West London there is a Great Cloth Nappy Change happening in Hillingdon.

Because we love real nappies!

An uncomfortable truth

Perhaps Pampers are green. Research carried out by Kiel University in Germany suggests throwaway nappies may reduce male fertility. This could mean that over the long term, disposables may curb population growth across the world. Then the SAP filled disposable nappy will turn out to be the greenest nappy afterall. And that cotton nappies may ensure the survival of the human race.
