Birmingham trials nappy loan scheme

I must admit to having a bad conscience about the nappy issue. It has to be said that disposables really are so easy to use but they are so bad environmenatlly. I want to encourage people not to use them but something in the back of my mind screams 'hypocrite' -after all we used 'em.



However when you look at the costs too ... and nowadays there are some good non-disposable designs and then along come Brum council and pilot this -because it'll help them with their landfill. I hope it works out well and gets rolled out all over the place.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
