Green MP to launch reusable nappy campaign in Hamilton
Green Party Zero Waste campaigner Mike Ward will this weekend join Angela Dixon of Funkybumz and Diane DeEstina from the

convenient modern reusable nappies now are and lobbying for measures that make it easier for parents to make the right
choice.
A Green Party media release providing background environmental and economic information on the issue will be sent out on
Friday.
What: The "Choose to Reuse" cloth nappy campaign launch, Who: Speakers will include Mike Ward MP (Green Party), Angela
Dixon (Funkybumz) and Diane DeEstina (Home Birth Association) When: 12 noon, Saturday 15 May. Where: The Parent and
Child Show at the Claudelands Showgrounds in Hamilton.
