I’m a local parent in [Suburb] and I’m reaching out to ask if [Council Name] would consider a cloth nappy waste-reduction partnership with Earthside Eco Bums.
Sara Siegwart (founder of Earthside Eco Bums) personally sees these programs through—running the education, supporting families one-on-one, and making sure the initiative actually sticks in the real world (daycare, washing, fit… all the tricky bits). She’s already making a huge difference for Australian families and communities.
A collaboration could include:
- Council-supported workshops/info sessions for new and expecting parents
- A starter-pack or rebate-style program to reduce the upfront cost barrier
- Ongoing family support (including troubleshooting and daycare guidance)
- Clear reporting on participation and waste-reduction outcomes
Beyond the environmental impact, reducing disposable nappy waste can save councils thousands in landfill and waste management costs over time—while giving parents a practical, supported pathway to switch.
If this is something you’re open to exploring, I know Sara would love to hear from you.
Her email is info@earthsideecobums.com.au
Thank you, I'd love to get this started!
Warm regards, [Your Name] [Suburb] [Phone number]
