A MALVERN charity is urging mothers to ditch disposable nappies and start choosing their reusable counterparts.

Disposable nappies acc-ount for four per cent of all the household waste in Herefordshire and Worc-estershire.

Welcome to Our Future, a Malvern-based charity set up to promote the wellbeing of people and their environment, is highlighting the range of 'real nappies' available in different styles and colours. For more information call Sue Fyleman on 01684 892281.

Worcestershire County Council has called a meeting of health visitors next month, to promote the use of traditional cloth nappies.
