The Batfam becomes convinced Danny is a clone/son and try to get a DNA sample. They can’t, not because Danny knows what they're up to, it’s just because he’s been so thoroughly ingrained with zero waste practices by Sam and never throws anything away.

"Spain’s Catalonia region rolled out a pioneering women’s health initiative [at the beginning of March, 2024] that offers reusable menstruation products for free.

About 2.5 million women, girls, transgender and nonbinary people who menstruate can receive one menstrual cup, one pair of underwear for periods and two packages of cloth pads at local pharmacies in northeast Spain free of charge.

The Catalan government said that the initiative, which is called “My period, my rules,” was meant to “guarantee the right to menstrual equity.” The regional government cited statistics that said 23% of women polled by Catalonia’s public opinion office said they had reused hygiene products designed for a single use for economic reasons.

Tània Verge, Catalonia’s regional minister for equality and feminism, called the program a “global first.”

Scotland’s government passed a law in 2020 to ensure period products are available for free to anyone who needs them. But in comparison with the Catalan program, in Scotland the products are for single use and are distributed through schools, colleges and universities, not pharmacies.

“We are fighting menstrual poverty, which affects one in four women in Catalonia, but is also about gender justice. We are fighting the stereotypes and taboos about menstruation,” Verge told The Associated Press. “And (...) it is about climate justice. We need to reduce the tons of waste generated by single-use menstrual products.”

The distribution of reusable products is also aimed at reducing waste. The regional government said that Catalonia produces about 9,000 tons of waste from single-use menstrual hygiene products.

The reusable products are acquired by the public health care system, which covers the entire population, and distributed by Catalonia’s 3,000-plus private pharmacies. The program cost the regional government 8.5 million euros ($9.2 million).

“I am completely in favor of this initiative,” 29-year-old graphic designer Laura Vilarasa said. “It will give women a product that is absolutely necessary to have for zero cost.”

Spain’s national government passed a law last year granting women with debilitating menstrual pain the right to paid medical leave."

Tired of living in a period of enabled overconsumption and the quality of everything being replaced for cheaper alternatives with only higher prices. Tired of corporations being able to get away with selling products that won't last. Tired of unnecessary mass manufacturing. Tired of trends and impulsive purchases being encouraged by companies. Tired of celebrities being worshipped whilst they help destroy the environment. Tired of micro transactions and blatantly invasive advertisements everywhere. Tired of false advertisement, misinformation and clickbait being normalised. Tired of corporate fear mongering and blatant disregard of human livelihoods.

I'm so tired of all the wastefulness and cruelty and how corporations can just get away with it.

People passionate about sustainability need to realize that not everything can be reusable. Some things need to be disposable!

Inhalers, IV’s, Catheters, PIC lines, NG tubes, Adult Diapers, Cutlery and Dishes, Ostomy Bags, and many more things are all single use.

Most of these things aren’t easy to replace or have a reusable version of; especially when you are disabled and dealing with low energy.

If you want a more sustainable future make disposable products for us that use better materials and better manufacturing choices. Don’t pick on disabled people for needing them to live.

In theory if I wanted kids, I wouldn’t want my grandchildren paying out of pocket for price-gouged basic necessities, at the mercy of major corporations. Remember those free water guys that were all over social media giving out free water bottles and explaining to people that it was entirely funded by the ads on the bottle??? How is that going for them I’m curious bc can we please do this with menstrual products..maybe even basic first aid supplies…..pls

When it comes to living a more sustainable lifestyle, the benefits often extend beyond helping the environment. One of the key advantages of using reusable products is how much money you can save in the long run. From reducing your reliance on single-use items to cutting down household waste, reusable alternatives not only last longer but also help you avoid constantly replacing throwaway items.

someone should invent a menstrual product that doesn't make cramps hurt worse

[new-acc-is-lake-creature2]

considering reusable period pads. It's cheaper, more environmentally friendly and the disposable pad brands I have access to all support israel and have chemicals in them. Idk. What period products have yall used and what was the experience? Pros and cons?

I don't think I'd like using cups cuz I don't like inserting stuff, I don't like the idea of having a cup of blood inside me that I'll have to empty and I don't wanna have to boil it in cookware, nor buy cookware specifically for that

[booksr4ever18]
