Comment on Boarding in November! by Endobered

Along with the undeveloped terrain, we also were forced to deal with a large slope differential on the jobsite. The property next to the building’s rear parking lot included a large area of trees that we needed to leave undisturbed. To overcome the http://stroitel.net23.net slope differential we built an 800 liner foot, turn-up concrete retaining wall on the rear elevation. This allowed us to maintain the desired 3:1 slope and save the trees on the property adjacent to the parking lot.

Hi,
I’m contacting you from LILI, a not-for-profit environmental organisation.
I’m adding a large, relevant photo for all of the 172 topics on our website – one of which is real nappies. I wonder if I could ask if we could use one of your photos? (I’ll credit of course). It’s the one on this page – http://www.jenny-and-jp.org/2010/05/23/using-washable-nappies-is-it-worth-it/
thanks
Dave

That must have been terrifying! Best wishes to all of you. I’m glad A. is doing well now.

I too think the Ronald McDonald house is awesome.

@jim Hey Jim, long time no speak!! I suspect you used "simpler" nappies than the ones mentioned in this article re: price of the starter kit. It's for shaped nappies which come with velcro or press studs, booster pads, external liners etc... (the works). Basic pieces of terry cloth and safety pins would be cheaper. But maybe it's just much cheaper on your side of the pond!

@Morag Hi Morag, You're right about the two EA reports (which are fully referenced in my post btw). They do conclude that the onus is on the consumer for the real nappies. After doing a lot of reading on the subject, I feel that the real nappy promotional literature should be very clear about it though and highlight how borderline it is if the laundering advice is not adhered to. Regarding costs, it's true that re-using nappies for a second child (or borrowing nappies from somebody else) will reduce costs (by half almost according to my calculations). I saw on your website that cot to potty kits are sold for £250 so my estimates seem conservative.

You’ve put a lot of work into this – well done. And thanks for the links.

As you can see, I’m the Nappy Lady, and cloth nappies is what we do. I do my best to give people the complete picture and a fair comparison, rather than trying to frighten people off using disposables. It’s not our job to persuade people to use cloth, but to ensure they don’t waste money when they do. It’s all too easy to get sucked into cloth nappy addiction!

There have been two Environment Agency lifecycle reports about nappies. Both came to the same conclusion, though no newspapers reported on it: that responsibility for the environmental impact of the nappies you use rests largely with the manufacturer for disposables and largely with the consumer for cloth nappies.

The more children you have, the greater the cost benefit of using cloth. I made a net PROFIT of about £100 on nappying my second son – all I had to buy was a few top up items and I sold the nappies at the end of the process.

Anyway, I’m currently writing the Nappy Lady Guide to Cloth Nappies, so if any readers want to contribute their ideas for what they would like to see in that, please pop over to my blog at http://www.nappyladyuk.co.uk or to our main information site at http://www.thenappylady.co.uk.
