“Regarding the nappy episode, people need to understand the difference between biodegradable and compostable. Biodegradable means it will just break down into smaller pieces of plastic (no it’s not the same as throwing an apple out the window), compostable is what we must use if we are after an environmentally friendly option.
I also need to call out Craig for saying our electricity is 60% coal, when many of us have the option of buying 100% renewable energy through the electricity provider (or maybe washing during the day with solar panels on many roofs). With the addition of using cloth nappies for subsequent children, there are many arguments this can be closer to “zero waste” than disposable.”
