How would you feel a return to the days of washing out and reusing nappies?!
A Meath-based councillor has highlight how a move from disposable nappies to reusable cloth ones not only has huge environment benefits but could save parents thousands of euro!
Cllr Deirdre Geraghty-Smith, a FF councillor, is calling for a Government support for a national reusable nappy scheme which would be local authority-led.
Currently, 600,000 disposable nappies are used in Ireland each day and it’s estimated that if people used even one reusable nappy per day, it would save 1,000 disposable nappies from landfill.
Speaking to Damien Tiernan on Deise Today this morning, Deirdre Geraghty-Smith said she was proposing modern cloth nappies, not the old terri-cloth nappies of old.
