Ecobums- now the little ones can be eco conscious

As a grandfather with a grand daughter living at home and another on the way I am all for this one. As noted in the article it is a must move.

Below is a press release we have issued.

UNLEY EMBRACES ECOBUMS AS CLOTH NAPPIES MAKE A COME BACK

Did you know that in Australia, we send 2.1 billion disposable nappies to landfill a year and because they take around 150 years to break down, they become a significant ecological issue as they take up valuable landfill.

As part of an ongoing city wide Waste Management program, The City of Unley is consciously trying to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, therefore an important way of achieving this is to encourage residents to use cloth nappies rather than the disposable type.

Cloth nappies have come a long way since the old toweling squares. Modern versions are much more absorbent, less bulky and easier to wash – plus they are just as easy to use as disposables and they look great!

The City of Unley is offering a subsidised program to encourage parents to use cloth nappies via a Cloth Nappy Library.

The Cloth Nappy Library gives you the opportunity to try out different types, sizes and brands of modern cloth nappies for two weeks, helping you find the perfect nappy system for you and your baby.

Information and demonstration sessions explaining the benefits of cloth nappies will be held as follows:

Wednesday 6.30pm 21 March.

Fullarton Park Centre

411 Fullarton Road

Fullarton

Monday 6.30pm 26 March 

Goodwood Community Centre
