Make all nappies and wipes sold in the UK 100% bio degradeable
8 million disposable nappies are dumped each day in the UK and will be on earth 5 times longer than the babies that used them. Making all disposable nappies & wipes biodegradable would reduce their environmental impact & increase parental access to less damaging products. #HelpUsLiveGreener
More details
The public cannot begin to contribute to the repair of the environment & pollution problems when they are confronted with plastic in all their purchases. The government must demand manufacturers improve or pay damages. We have the science, just not the policy
