Shocking! The European Commission is likely to abandon its non-toxic environment strategy yet we need more robust legislation to protect people's health #myclosestenemy

Here is what the European Chemical Industry has to say about toxics:

“we don't need a non-toxic environment.
Sorry, environment ministers, we don't like the word & we don't need it”

Did you know 👀 >> The bleaching process for most tampons and diapers can leave a chlorine ‘footprint’ in the final product in the form of trace amounts of #dioxins. These chemical residues will stay embedded in the product throughout its entire lifecycle #myclosestenemy

Despite changes in bleaching practices to purify wood pulp, chlorine and dioxin (one of the most toxic substances known to man) can still be found in menstrual products. That's just one reason we are passionate about developing #environmenstrual alternatives. #periodaction
