A nappy disaster
A child can use up to 8,500 nappies from birth to potty. This number of used nappies would fill to 150 black plastic bags. Some people think they can flush nappies down the toliet but the cartoon shows what could happen. If a mum used modern reusable nappies, she could get by with less than a hundred. Even if she washes the nappies herself, she’ll save over €2,000.
