"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."

did you know that ONE disposable pad takes at least 500 years to decompose? (source: national geographic)

say goodbye to endless purchases with reusable pads.

it only takes starting with one pad to see the difference. choose sustainability, choose the future.

let's go shopping with these reusable, foldable, AND portable bags! 🐹

The final new product reveal before the big update on Tuesday (or tomorrow for Snack Club members) are eco shopping bags that fold up into cute little square pouches to take with you on grocery trips! They're double sided with a different design printed on each side, made of durable ripstop nylon, and come with a sewn-in pouch!

Here's a photo of one of the bags next to my doggo, Atticus, for size reference! They can hold quite a lot of stuff!

Coming to my online store on July 11 @ 9pm EST!

People be out here saying "don't get the free plastic bags from the store, just buy reusable ones!" as though my parents haven't been using the same 10 free plastic bags for the past seven years.

Most things are reusable if you have enough determination.

This is a shitpost I support environmentalism and also people who need disposable shit for health reasons I just thought this was funny please don't hate me-

#environment #environmentalism #reusable #reduce reuse recycle #recycling #waste disposal #plastic bag #shitpost #made this post because i (college) student was buying emergency groceries and realized that i forgot my bag #and i had too much stuff to carry in my arms so the cashier asked if i wanted a bag #and my first thought was 'oh good a free bathroom trashbag'#like yes plastic bag are still bad but i also think it could be interesting to talk about the ways in which we still reuse disposable thing #i have been using the same paper plate for the past three meals #i throw it out when i think it will attract ants #growing up my parents subconsciously taught me every possible way i could reuse a disposable bag #so i don't completely mind it when i get one from the store because for me it's really similar to a normal reusable bag

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.

#I will die on the hill of needing disposable dishes and cutlery #I also need adult diapers and those are absolutely single use #it would be awesome if they were made from better materials etc but that isn’t an affordable widespread option #set your sights on abled people if you only want to complain about single use products and not make solutions #cripplepunk #cpunk #sustainability #environmentalism #actually disabled #zero waste #low waste #reusable #sustainable

We made a reusable flax-filled heat pad for a friend recovering from surgery! We hope they get a lot of use out of it, but not more than they need to!

Shout out to reusable grocery bags! Thank you for letting the point of failure be myself rather than the bag when I try to carry 30 cans of soup up to my 3rd story apartment in one trip
