New Year's Resolution-How to be More Eco-Friendly
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/28/11 -- Getting fit, eating healthier or taking up a new hobby are just of the New Year's Resolutions commonly pledged as the year draws to a close, but gNappies, the purveyor of the hybrid nappy, urges parents and parents-to-be to make a New Year's Resolution that will benefit their offspring for years to come; be more eco-aware.
A fresh year can mean a fresh start, and the issue of reducing one's carbon footprint gets more prominent with each passing year. A big environmental issue is increasing landfill and the gases that are omitted from them. According to gNappies, constitute one third of the world's landfill, with only five per cent of the population using them. This shocking statistic is what spurred the co-founders to create a hybrid option - offering parents the opportunity to be eco-friendly with a nappy system comprising disposable refill and options to suit time constraints of busy parents.
Says Kim Graham-Nye, co-founder of gNappies: "Many see a new baby as a new start, as it really can symbolise a new era in your life. So can a new year - so combine the two and pledge to make your little one a truly . Many people find that environmental factors become much more pertinent when they become parents and so are keen to find ways in which they can do their bit for the environment. Choosing a hybrid system like gNappies really does go a long way to helping, especially when you consider the 'nappy life' which can be two years plus."
Parents who may have previously avoided non-disposable nappies may have done so because of the perceived downtime of cloth option, but the availability of disposable and biodegradable refills with this hybrid system means it's even easier for parents to consider this option.
Kim and her husband Jason introduced the hybrid nappy concept after discovering shocking facts about disposable nappies and their impact on the environment. Around 11 million disposable nappies enter UK landfill every day, each taking up to 500 years to decompose and accounting for a third of the world's landfill.
gNappies gives the option to choose between disposable nappies or cloth nappies - with the disposable element being a gRefill - an insert which is home compostable or can be disposed of in the domestic waste. On a home compost, the gRefill only takes 50 - 100 days to biodegrade, compared with 500 years for a single disposable nappy.
gNappies come in a range of colours, patterns and sizes. The dedicated gNappies UK website - - features all the products as well as gBundle starter packs.
