How to Save the Environment and Earn Money From Disposable Nappies

Video Link to Nappy Story Here

Check this one out everyone, what an awesome Kiwi lady she is, you guys not from NZ, please let me know if you can’t watch this because I have a feeling these news feeds are unavailable outside New Zealand. I think this lady is simply awesome, a perfect example of great Kiwi who had a dream and did whatever it took to make it happen, sensational if you ask me.

Just in case you can’t get the video, here is the narrative to that story ……….

Karen Upston, mother of two from Rangiora now presides over the official opening of the world’s first commercial nappy composting facility.

She has realised her dream – Karen Upston is New Zealand’s composting queen.
