Eco – Friendly Period Product Petition hits 750 signatures!

Thanks so much to those parents who have signed the Eco – Friendly Period Product Petition on the Victorian Parliamentary e-petition website. We’ve started a Facebook page called Eco-Friendly Periods 4 Vic Schools. See the link below. Please consider following, liking and sharing the page to keep up with all the latest on this campaign. Just a reminder that this action is in response to the Victorian Government’s announcement to provide single use pads and tampons to all schools as of 2021. We are calling for young people to be given a choice about what sort of products they use to manage their period. It’s not too much to ask and if given the choice, many young people would select a sustainable and less polluting option.  It will also help young people up to establish more sustainable life habits. Surely this is a good thing. I’ve provided the link to the petition below. Please share the petition with friends and family. We need to get to around 2000 signatures to get some attention.
