Turning wees & poos into trees!

I'd like to do my bit for the environment - and I am sure I am not alone. But as a busy parent being an eco-warrior and changing nappies doesn't always go hand in hand. Our children - as precious and unique as they are - can actually be pretty hard on the environment.

The amount of nappies and wipes a parent goes through during a newborn's first months of life is staggering. And, unless you're really into really early toilet training, it doesn't end there. During a child's first two-and-a-half years, they can go through over 4500 nappies! And every year 800 million disposable nappies are dumped in landfill in Australia alone.

Whilst there is an ongoing nappy debate about the merits of using reusable versus disposable, there is no arguing that every nappy used has an impact on the environment. And although there has been development in bio-degradable and composting nappies, the majority of parents (95% Australians, 90% USA and 90% UK) use single use disposable nappies. That's a lot of nappies and wees and poos!

So last month, my friend and stay at home dad Rob Clode, launched a social media campaign called Ones, Twos and Trees: Turning Wees and Poos into Trees!

His aim is to raise $6,300 to start offsetting the environmental impact of the greenhouse gases produced during the production, manufacture and use of nappies.

I know that we all want a greener future for our children Robert tells me. And through the power of social media, we can get together as a community to create positive social change. By Supporting Ones, Twos and Trees we can Turns Wees and Poos into Trees!
