Happy international LGBT+🏳️‍🌈 Pride Day! On June 28, 1970, in New York, the queer community stood up against homophobia and police hostility. This event was a catalyst for the liberation of the gay movement. At Green Periods, EVERYONE is welcome and included. We love and serve all

At our @UN Headquarters in New York, we can feel the deteriorating air quality as smoke from the wildfires in Canada moves south.

With global temperatures on the rise, the need to urgently reduce wildfire risk is critical.

We must make peace with nature. We cannot give up.

There was also a trend some years ago which enlightened a lot of people to the problematic nature of their products provided across Africa. Nasty stuff. I remember reading some tweets in horror > #MyAlwaysExperience.

Let’s be inclusive of all our menstruators. We love everyone who is reading this, there is no MENstruation without men, women, or whatever your choice of identity is :)

Happy Pride Month! Green Periods strives to be an all-inclusive organization breaking the stigma not only around menstruation but basic human rights issues like gender identity and equity. Within the menstrual community, we use the term menstruators or ‘people who menstruate’.
