Disposeable Nappies

I cannot understand why women of this day and age want to use disposeable nappies. You can get some really beaut bright coloured cloth nappies that hug and cling just as well as a disposeable one. The only thing the cloth nappies DON'T DO is foul up the environment. There are so many of these foul smelling plastics nappies (half the time not even emptied) that do not break down and add more pollution to our soils and air.
The problem is people are lazy, it is convenient for them. These cost a fortune over a few years, imagine what they can save.Don't they realize that the Earth has a problem, don't they want to make it better for their children and so on.
Wake up please, think of your children.

We use cloth nappies - they are not difficult at all and apart from the obvious advantages of not negatively impacting the environment, they are super cute! It does not use as much water and power as people might think. I might put on one extra wash per week and thats mainly because it's not wise to wash the nappies with sheets or towels otherwise the nappies wont get cleaned thoroughly enough. We do also use biodegradeable nappies as well. It is really important to teach our children to have an environmental conscience, and to do this properly you need to lead by example as a parent. My husband was sceptical at first of cloth nappying but he too can that it is the best for our baby and the planet and he can change the nappy just as well as I can. I would really love to see the government (local or state) to start encouraging parents to try cloth. In NZ, some councils are right behind it and give parents incentives to give it a go by offering a rebate of the start-up cost. Im gald we're able to our little bit to be kinder to the environment :)
