A year’s worth of disposable period products leaves a carbon footprint equivalent to 5.3 kilograms (nearly 12 pounds) of CO2. Yet plastic and non-compostable materials in period products can take 500 to 800 years to decompose. We are reaching out to poor communities and schools in Uganda to provide girls with reusable pads and a bar of soap for sanitation hat are climate friendly, cheap and long lasting and help them stay in school. We will teach the girls and their communities about, menstrual health and the taboos attached to it, the dangers of the plastics contained in the conventional pads as well as teaching them about how climate is changing and how they can be positive elements of climate action. We will plant trees in every community we go to give out reusable pads.
