PART TIME HALF ASSED VEGAN NOTES - send a message

One of my previous posts for women only mentioned This is L feminine hygiene products available at Target.

However, I also wrote an ECO-FRIENDLY EVERYTHING post and ECO-FRIENDLY WATER ON THE GO post.  We have to get a grip on the single use plastic we're using.  No more plastic choking our marine life.  Nothing like tying things neatly together.

I just sent the following message to support@ThisIsL.com

I was wondering if the plastic strips and wrapping on your feminine hygiene products are actually plastic, or if they're biodegradable.  There's a company in Indonesia called Avani making certain "plastic" products out of cassava starch.  Zero negative impact to the environment.  I'm hoping you'll take your positive efforts one step further and switch to a biodegradable packaging and wrapping material.

Keep up the great work - just go one step further to biodegradable wrapping!

Best regards,

Please take a minute or two and copy/paste the message in an email to support@thisisL.com.  

We'll start one company at a time and rescue our planet!  If you take a look at their mission on their website, you'll see they're already committed to good causes.  

I believe they'll listen to us.

Make someone else's day magical!

PART TIME HALF ASSED VEGAN NOTES - For Women only

I hadn't considered being "vegan" during my time of the month.  I just wanted blood absorption without chlorine.  I found rayon-free, chlorine free pads and tampons at Target from a brand called "L" from Italy.  The packaging is superb.  You can't miss it on the shelves.

But today's search yielded vegan varieties.  I hadn't considered how many feminine hygiene products wind up in landfills or in the waterways.  All those chemicals toxify the environment (and they were touching our lady parts for how many hours every day for 5 days????)

I can't say I'll ever try menstrual cups or reusable period panties, but there are options, depending on how seriously you make your efforts.

The vegan woman says these 5 products will change your life.  Worth a try.
