Veolia Southwark will be hosting free real nappy demonstrations at local library baby and toddler sessions (see listing below). The team will be on hand to answer questions about using real nappies and how to apply for the free trial pack (worth ?50).


By using just one real nappy a day, in place of a disposable one, would prevent 730 nappies from being sent for energy recovery. Using cloth nappies instead of disposables not only helps to save the environment but helps to save families money too. Parents can save approximately ?500 per baby and if nappies are used for more than one child, the cost savings add up considerably.


In the UK, 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away, every day. The plastic in disposable nappies can take up to 500 years to break down. Join other parents across Southwark and help to reduce the number of nappies that are thrown away by making the switch to reusable nappies.

Libraries:

Camberwell at 10.30am

John Harvard at 11.15am

Dulwich at 10.30am

Canada Water at 11.00am

Hi Alik212


Apologies for the confusion. The dates were listed in week order i.e.Camberwell on Monday, John Harvard on Tuesday etc.


I hope that you were able to attend one of the events. If you missed the demonstrations, we would be happy to send you some follow up information and answer any questions you might have about real nappies.


Please send us a private message should you wish to be contacted directly.


Kind regards

Suzy

    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
    • It's interesting how local businesses and the people that own / work in them are not considered part of the "community". The dictionary says "a group of people living in the same place" as the principal definition. Why are we forced to accept a secondary definition where those who don't live in social housing, the vast majority of people in East Dulwich, are told to shut up?
    • They often grow in the angle between wall and pavement which could cause damage to the foundation of the wall and leave the council open to being sued.
