What on earth is this ‘eco event box'?

It all started with a message from a mum new to the area. Did I know where she could hire a reusable party kit from? ‘A what?’ I asked. Five minutes of googling later and I knew this was something Tea, Cake and Parenting should be doing.

As the Eco Event Box is new to Tea, Cake and Parenting and honestly a completely new idea to Madeleine and I, I thought I’d run down the quick what, where, when, why and how of it all!


What?
A party in a box! Rather than buying a lot of disposable plates and cups for your kids party, you can hire a set of up to 36 colourful IKEA kids plates, cups, bowls and cutlery. You can also borrow serving dishes, platters and even a set of 12 adult plates and wine glasses. All reusable plastic.


Where?
Simply collect from Cat’s house (SW14 8BZ) and return in when you’re done.


When?
Whenever you want it. Just check availability with us and arrange pick and collection at a mutually convenient time with Cat.


Why? Rather than throwing away a bag of paper or plastic plates and cups and the end of your party, you can feel good about the planet and save some waste. It’s also pretty cost effective, only £5 to hire anything from our range for up to 72 hours.


How?
Follow the link to the booking form on our ‘Going Green East Sheen’ page and choose exactly what you want in your box. https://sites.google.com/s/1inU3WRh2N-zZ57XF7z251DxsAv_cF7Kc/p/1VyDJnohDEallY5NwIXsnPtBkZf9Z6if-/edit





When the time comes, collect your box, have a great party, give it all a wash the return ready for the next amazing eco party.

A Beginners Guide to Cloth Nappies

Interested in cloth nappies but have no idea where to start? Here's my brief run down of what you need to know.... Why go washable? Advantages: Cost - £200-300 vs £3000 Less waste - when they've finished their life they can go to fabric recycling.  Better for the environment - especially if you don’t tumble dry the energy and environmental impact is much lower  Fewer leaks - much less poo up the back!  Natural fibres - less chemicals (recent French study on chemicals in disposable nappies) Breathable - better for skin? Most anecdotal evidence claims less nappy rash. Studies limited but definitely support it being no worse than disposables.  Disadvantages? More washing? Only 1 load every 2 days and you’re washing LOADS anyway! Messier? Not really. Changing a disposable poo can get everywhere. With washables you’re organised and everything goes in the loo / bin / washing machine without needing to be handled any more than a disposable.  Smelly? Actually les
