In a few months I’m going to become a grandmother for the fifth time. Every minute, more than 380,000 nappies are thrown away around the world, and the World Economic Forum says that it is producing nearly 40 million tons of waste each year. The Duchess of York pictured with daughter Princess Beatrice and granddaughter Sienna Princess Beatrice of York, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and Princess Eugenie of York attend The Anti Slavery Collective's inaugural Winter Gala at Battersea Arts Centre on November 29, 2023 in London Princess Beatrice pictured with daughter Sienna Eugenie's children - and the Duchess of York's grandchildren - August and Ernest The fight against plastic waste has been relentless, not least from the Daily Mail campaigning against the scourge of plastic bags in supermarkets, and has driven great changes. Beatrice shares a picture of husband Edo, daughter Sienna and stepson Wolfie walking in the woods earlier this year Beatrice shares a snap of her daughter - Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi Sienna Mapelli Mozzi and her older cousin August Brooksbank at London Zoo to celebrate Earth Day last year The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, with her children at Pisa airport before leaving for London in 1997 Sarah, pictured on the night of the Coronation Concert on May 7 last year, with Beatrice and Eugenie With the gaze of world leaders now moving to Cop29 in Azerbaijan this week, I have landed in Samoato launch this campaign and meet the people who are working on our projects. If we look seriously at solutions being developed in places like Samoa, we can begin to cut the significant volume of plastic produced by nappies around the world.
