Did you know that most sanitary pads are made of 90% plastic? I had no idea that one sanitary pad could take 800 years to decompose...Half of the women in the UK flush tampons away, sending 51 trillion of micro-plastic particles into our oceans. #plasticfreeperiods; #reusablepads

Second half of my report on alternative period products. Did you know 200,000 tonnes of menstrual waste end up in UK landfills each year? I explore the harm these plastics have on our environment with @CitytoSea_ . #periodplastic #menstrualhealth
