It's quite possible the tamariki in our Infant and Toddler room will have the cutest bums around!
Did you know that, even with the washing involved, cloth nappies are 40% better for the environment than disposables?
Or how about the fact that if every baby had just one cloth nappy change per day, this would prevent one million disposables from going to landfill every week in New Zealand!
We are always looking for ways to look after our children's planet and using cloth nappies on the tamariki in our Infant and Toddler room while they are in our care is a great way we can reduce our impact on Papatūānuku. We are anticipating that we will save around 75kg of rubbish (based on the fact that an average disposable nappy weighs 200g) from entering our landfill each week.
We are grateful that the Whakatane Disctrict Council have generously given us 35 Baby Tree cloth nappies to get us started. Baby Tree is a local, Whakatane based, cloth nappy company - check them out if you are interested in giving cloth nappies a go.
