Waste-free parenting
'Cloth Nappies, Parenting and More' workshops
These workshops explain how to use cloth nappies and other reusable baby products. They include advice on:
- which nappies are suitable for your baby
- how to wash cloth nappies
- how disposable nappies can affect the environment
- how to reduce waste in your household.
The workshops are 90 minutes and cost $10 for an individual or couple. This fee includes one free cloth nappy pack worth $60 per family.
We run some workshops in conjunction with other events, so costs may vary.
Visit Waste-Ed with Kate for more information including workshop dates, locations and bookings.
