  1. Use 'real' nappies -

    They are fantastic, so much better all round. Really easy to use, we didn’t soak and washed nappies every other night. Try pocket nappies for ease of use and quick drying. Just down to washable pull ups overnight now (harder to find but still great).

  2. Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops -

    Bought 2 shopping bags, bugs bunny and tweety pie 10 years ago and still going strong but I never thought to add to my collection and always had a few plastic ones as well. Added a cadbury’s bag and several cloth and jute ones so never have to take that extra one now.

  3. Switch To Energy Saving Lightbulbs -

    Can’t believe how muc quicker the newer bulbs light up. All changed except for the children’s dimmers.

  4. Recycle Your Greetings Cards -

    Thanks for the tip about using the cards as postcards. I always do Christmas tags and recycle the rest but like the idea of postcards.

  5. Sort Out Your Unused Paint - then give it away -

    Our local Play Association takes some unwanted paint and I also put it on Freecycle as there were some nice kiddy colours.

  6. Give Your Unwanted / Unworn Clothes To Charity -

    I have done this propoerly for the first time ever. Sorted my wardrobe and sent all the excess, plus the things that I can’t get into for charity. Why was I keeping a checked shirt from University 15 years ago???

  7. Get Rid Of Some Of Your Books -

    Couldn’t part with some but sent some onto the church and school book stalls, not only recyceled but a bit of fundraising. Also have a book swop scheme at work and swapped a couple for my next good read!

  8. Don't just recycle, Freecycle -

    Freecycle is fantastic. I have just passed on to barely used cot mattresses. Why all the press and information on SIDS I suggested them for sleep overs etc but found that there are lots of Mums out there desperate for mattresses and nursery goods. How much do we buy for our babies and how much do we pass on? NCT Nearly New Sales help the recycling process and give a bit back to the families to buy the next kit or clothes.
