New Zealand’s Largest Treasure Hunt gets even bigger!

Starting Anzac day The Nappy Lady, Kate Meads will once again don her hot pink, electric blue cape and set off on a 3,628km road trip around New Zealand. With over $60,000 worth of prizes hidden along the way, Cloth Nappy Week 2015 is set to be the nation’s biggest treasure hunt.

Kate Meads will travel from Tauranga to Invercargill and back up to Auckland, covering the country from the 25th of April to the 9th of May, in an effort to spread the word about the benefits of sustainable living.
“Cloth nappies are good for the planet and even better for your wallet. Switching from disposable to cloth nappies can save parents $4000 per child, which makes a big difference to the family budget,” says Kate.
Switching to cloth nappies also reduces household waste, with disposable nappies making up a sizeable chunk of what gets sent to landfills.

Kate sees education as the key to increasing environmental awareness for New Zealand parents. “If we educate parents to convert to a more sustainable lifestyle now then their children will grow up to be eco-conscious.
Cloth Nappy Week 2015 is aiming to change misconceptions of leading a sustainable lifestyle through hosting twenty five coffee groups and three workshops nation-wide. During this nation-wide tour, the Baby on the Move ‘National Treasure Hunt’ will see over 1,000 baby-related products to be won.

At the coffee groups parents and expecting parents will get to play games to win some big prizes. In the main centres there are some major prizes from principal sponsor Baby on the Move such as Out n About buggies and Motorola baby monitors. Cloth Nappy Week has been provided with a Bosch washing machine to giveaway.

“For the treasure hunt, prizes will be hidden in secret locations across the country and we will be posting clues on our Facebook page to direct people to the hiding place,” says The Nappy Lady. “The first person to find the prize gets to keep it. We will have over 1,000 prizes to hide and give away during the promotion.”

One of the aims of Cloth Nappy Week is to help parents who want to commit to being zero waste. Parents can learn more about cloth nappies and waste minimisation at any one of the Cloth Nappy Week events. For more information visit their website www.clothnappyweek.co.nz
