Ladies Without Plastic - Green Menstruation. Environmental challenge by Sofonie Dala, Angola. Webisode 11

 Our Africa Educates her Campaign season 5 is on going 

Green Menstruation - Day 11

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, 

Welcome to show eleventh of our environmental challenge Women Without Plastic - Key to reduce our carbon footprints! 


The influence that parenting styles can have on a child's identity and emotional stability can be positivenegative or a combination. Educating parents about more sustainable period products is important, as it encourages both parent and child to seek reusable options.

Our guest for today is Viviane, she will tell us about who inspires her to do the things she does.

Good afternoon lady!

Good afternoon.

What is your name?

My name is Viviane.

How old are you?

I am 13 years old.

Which of these pads do you use?

I use the disposable pad.

Why do you prefer this one?

Because my mom tells me to wear this one.

Do you use this just because your mother says?

Yes.

Have you ever used the washable pad?

No, I never used it.

Did you know that this disposable absorbent is harmful to the environment? “There’s a huge carbon footprint that goes into making these products, and then they get thrown on the ground When wrapped in plastic bags, feminine hygiene waste can take centuries to biodegrade.

No. I didn't know about this.

For these reasons,  we recommend using cloth absorbents, as they are more sustainable and economical, and they are affordable.

OK.

So will you start using the reusable pad one day?

Yes, I will try it.


It’s time to #DitchDisposables and refuse everyday products which cannot be reused! 

Swap single use items for reusable alternatives. If the current trend continues there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050! We mean, instead of using disposable pads and tampons that are discarded after just one use, consider using reusable products instead.
