SHOPPERS will be shown the benefits of non-disposable nappies at an event in Lewisham.
To mark Real Nappy Week, which runs from April 27 to May 3, Lewisham Council is holding a showcase of the washable nappies outside the main entrance of Lewisham Shopping Centre, in Lewisham town centre, on Thursday (April 30).
Parents and parents-to-be will be shown how to use the nappies on their babies and the range available to buy.
Vouchers worth £30 are also available to shoppers.
A spokeswoman for the Women's Environmental Network (WEN), an organisation for women and the environment, said: “Parents can help to counter climate change and protect their babies' future with easy to use, modern, self-fastening real nappies.
“The most climate friendly option is washing nappies at home in the recommended way. It could save them money too."
