1. Use 'real' nappies - 10 Sep 2006

   We’ve been using real nappies on Ellie since she was a couple of days old and have found them no trouble at all. Not sure about the link to the BBC article, suggesting that disposables have saved women from a life of drudgery :-( Real nappies are really not that hard work and there are so many reasons to make the switch. Have a look at http://www.realnappycampaign.com/index.html for more facts and figures :-) Happy nappying!

2. Sign Up Online To Become An Organ Donor - 10 Sep 2006

   Need to check my details are up-to-date and online. Really don’t know if I’ve ever done more than signing a card… This is a great place to start!

3. Put Eco Balls in your Washing Machine - 10 Sep 2006

   How about Soap Nuts? We tried Ecoballs and were never quite convinced, but find Soap nuts as good as detergent, even on nappies! I add Ecover laundry bleach or a eco-friendly nappy sanitiser to some washes just to be sure, but really they get stuff as clean as the Ecover liquid does!

4. Put A Save-A-Flush Device In Your Cistern - 17 Sep 2006

   Can anyone tell me how eco-friendly the chemicals inside the save-a-flush bags are? We just got one from our water supplier, but I’m assuming it’s the same kind of nasty chemicals which they put in disposable nappies to absorb the moisture ;-) I’m happy to improvise with a milk bottle or something as suggested above, but want to complain to the water people if they’re giving out nasties and need to be armed with facts!

   Thanks!
