Over $1000 in Green Promise Nappies for you to WIN this Winter!

Each of our 33 sponsors have donated a nappy towards the Green Promise Nappy Initiative.

The value is nicely over $1000!

green-promise-nappies-logo

You can WIN one of them for Free in the Green Promise Nappy Initiative which starts today and goes until July the 15th.

Click here to register and start playing!

If each of these washable and reusable nappies is used once a week for a year, they will prevent 1716 disposable nappies from going to landfill, diverting them to the wash, where, even when being washed regularly they can lower a family’s carbon footprint by up to 40%.

Over two years of use, they will prevent 6864 nappies going to landfill. That’s approximately 343 bags of 20 nappies.

How did the idea for My Green Nappy evolve?

How did the idea for My Green Nappy evolve?

It started as an article on another site of mine, Part Time Nappy Free! It is called “How Green is Your Nappy?” and is an encouraging look into a dozen simple ways of gradually reducing the carbon footprint of your baby, before you even start with a spot of baby pottying. (The site is designed to introduce and encourage mums interested in dabbling in baby pottying, or elimination communication as a way to reduce your need for full time nappies.)

Yes, you can make a difference with simple ideas to reduce your environmental impact!

Here's a bit of the article that inspired me to create My Green Nappy.org...

Baby Jett, 1 week old

Then, my second son, Jett, was born with CTEV. CTEV is Congenital Talipes EquinoVarus – simply, he was born with what would be a ‘club foot’ if it had been left untreated. It is a genetic condition that effects one in 1000 babies born, so it is rather common. But it has been corrected, and his foot is beautiful, and will stay that way as he grows as we are very diligent about his brace wear! Treatment involved series of 12 plaster casts from when he was 9 days old – (the day he wore his first nappy), followed by his ‘boots and bar’  - he had to wear an orthotic brace on his feet for 23 hours day for 3 months, then 16 hours until about 14 months, now 12 hours a day until he is 4ish.

Whereas with my first son we did night time EC and I was able to experience the wonderful benefits of using no night time nappies at all, with my baby in a brace that holds his feet apart, it is very difficult to tell when he needed to go, so using nappies at night became inevitable.

Overnight Cloth NappiesNeeding to use night nappies at lot more was new to me, as my first son was nappy-free at night from 5-6 months, so I did more looking into the specialised night time nappies, those designed to last overnight and to absorb the more voluminous wees of a baby who is often disturbed at night by his brace, which lightens his sleep, suppresses the production of the hormone that concentrates urine at night, meaning a larger volume of wee, and the circle goes on…

Here we have My Green Nappy. You’ll find I strive to keep the information at a simple level so you are not overwhemed with information. Hmm, how to keep it simple when there is so much to know?

Although there is a lot of information here, through My Green Nappy Guide I space it out for you. Imagine a snippet every few days delivered to your inbox; no need for any more googling! My Green Nappy IS a true Nappy Nexus – I’m striving for it to be a valuable portal. Once you are savvy, you can move on to the various organisations and cloth nappy forums and visit the shops for more experienced and specific support and advice; they are the true experts!

My Green Nappy Guide: Too many emails?

As an email for My Green Nappy Guide arrives every 3-4 days, they can mount up in your in-box and get annoying if you don’t get the time to keep up. The best solution is to create a folder in your email program to add them to, so that you can pop back in there at your leisure to see where you were up to! I do that for all the online guides and email lists I join. That way, I can see an email has come in, and get around to it when I have some free moments, without having to scroll around my inbox (mine is I must admit, far too full of emails!) and risk losing track – which also happens of course!

- Charndra

P.S The page How did the idea for My Green Nappy evolve? talks about the development of the idea further for those of you interested in how these sorts of things come into being out of needs, experiences and seeing a need when listening to the Mums around me…

A question for you:

Well, I don’t have a question – but I do have some encouragement – get an ideas book and jot down ideas. Follow your interests and the directions of your life to find meaningful pursuits to pursue. I am amazed at how starting by waffling on about our adventures in EC has led me to learn all sorts of new things, and I continue to have fun thinking of new ideas. Now, if only they could support me to stay at home with an actual income- perhaps one day.

Actually, here is a question:

What are your areas of personal interest? Have you thought to start a blog and record your thoughts? Writing about what interests you is easy, and who knows where it will lead you in time. You’ve got to be in it to see where you may go. Recently I talked about the site I got the template for My Green Nappy from. I am switching all my sites over to those templates – one day… –  they are optimised for all browsers, a HUGE bonus. There are squillions of free templates you can use – and WordPress has a free blogging platform too, but these premium themes are worth a gander at if you want.

Earth Hour is this Saturday the 27th March – A Question for YOU!

Visit to Register your family or business and join in this collaborative activity: Earth Hour

Earth Hour

Yes, Earth Hour is symbolic. I think it is a great initiative, and will be supporting it again this year.

Does one hour really make a difference? Yes it does if it raises awareness, starts a new tradition or re-kindles an old one, if it stops us and helps us think about our planet and why it matters that we reduce our impact.

I know people who are blase and refuse to participate, saying we should do Earth Hour every day – but I feel that is a bit odd – why not join in and have fun with your family at the same time everyone else is?

This will be our third Earth Hour. The first we lit candles and chatted. I enjoyed it, hubby watched the clock, LOL.

Last year we had candles again and I read Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone out loud. It was so enjoyable that I wanted to do it more regularly. This hasn’t happened, so this year is another chance to kick off the tradition again.

This year – I’ll be making sure we have some candles today and have a think about what we could do – I’d like to do a story or two – but what else?

A Question for you about Earth Hour:

What does your family do for Earth Hour?

Watchful Eyes, Thoughtful Mind… How our past present and future are connected on this Earth!

I am pleased to have been offered a guest post at the fascinating site Watchful Eyes, Thoughtful Mind…

From the site:

I acknowledge that there is a lot for us to learn and understand yet on this planet. I also believe that life goes in cycles and therefore, our civilisation is not the first advanced humans this planet has seen. History (which we conveniently call mythology and ignore) tells us of various feats of advanced ancient civilisations and their downfall, gradual or sudden. We CAN learn a lot from our past, about our future and about our planet, if we make a wise choice.

Baby and Parenting Expo, Adelaide – March 19th 2010

From Kindy we went directly to the Expo – my first baby expo actually!
The kids had a ball on the bouncy run and had an icecream and lost several balloons. I was delighted to meet the ladies representing Real Nappies, Bambooty, The Green Nappy Company, itti bitti, Pea Pods, Cotton Bottom, Swim Baby and Baby BeeHinds!
It was great to put faces to names, check out some more nappies in real life and have a quick natter. It was so busy!

I also saw several friends – two before we even walked in the door! A million prams, a few slings, lots of soft structured carriers and gee the air conditioning was really finding it hard – or was that me racing all over the place?

Which cloth nappy retailers have you met at a baby expo?
