Support local businesses that are owned and operated by your neighbors!  Caring about and investing in the wellbeing of their community and its future. Here's 5 reasons why you should support small businesses:

In the early 1900s, the first ever period products came to life: menstrual cups made from aluminum or hard rubber, and period pants, which were pants that were lined with rubber. Additionally, a company called Lister’s released sanitary napkins, as well as sanitary belts, which was an elastic belt worn under clothing to hold the pad. Think suspenders but for your pad.

We are no nonsense trailblazers. We are passionate world changers. We are proud leaders. If you’re reading this, we know that you are, too. Embodying these qualities means that it is time to demand more of yourself by prioritizing yourself and your health. We are here to embrace the fear that comes with change, and to help you to make choices with your best interest in mind.

While there is no singular solution to all of the earth’s complex problems, one sure-fire way to reduce plastic waste is to reduce plastic consumption. Here are some digestible dupes that you can replace in your daily life that Mother Nature will thank you for!

Now, more than ever, we are turning to local businesses to fulfill our shopping needs, while also supporting an ever-changing Canadian economy. Major win, win.

All in all, your carbon footprint matters, for better or for worse. If every single person decided to change the way that they view and treat the environment, we could save (or immensely slow) the rate of destruction of our forests, our oceans, our air and our earth. 

For now, the earth is a little bit greener, cleaner and a whole lot happier. While these are nuggets of hopefulness amidst a difficult time, it is important to remember that true sustainable change comes from true, permanent behaviour change. These changes stem from the desire to positively impact our world and planet, and through active choices to live with a more environmentally conscious mindset.

Making the switch to longer-lasting products can go a long way in reducing your individual environmental impact and it is easier on your wallet. This is a simple way to engage in earth-friendly behaviours by reducing consumption of single-use plastics, which greatly harm the environment when not disposed of properly.

Think of composting as recycling for organic matter. For the same reasons that you recycle your plastic containers and cardboard boxes, you should compost your organic materials. 

If you’re not buying organic cotton tampons and pads, you’re likely inserting and/or using products that are made from rayon - a semi-synthetic fibre that entered mainstream production for socks, lingerie, and other clothing in the 1920's. 

Over the course of their lifetime, a person who menstruates can throw away an estimated 400 pounds of packaging from their period products - most of which will end up in our landfills and sewer systems, and at times, will wash up on the shores of our local beaches.

Do disposable period products have to be our norm? Absolutely not.
