20 billion sanitary napkins, tampons and applicators are dumped into North American landfills every year. (x) The packaging isn’t necessarily recyclable either! The billions of dollars spent in this industry could be used on reusable products instead that are way better for the environment!!

The fact that the cheapest options are those that damage our health and the planet makes this a social and environmental issue: people with the least power have the greatest exposure to dangerous products.
