Supporting a Sustainable Lifestyle for Menstruating Students
Vision
Our vision is to educate and promote sustainable lifestyle choices through the introduction of sustainable menstrual products.
Action
Students will learn about sustainable products that menstruating people can access to: reduce waste, promote health, reduce cost and care for self.
Reflection & Celebration
Our student population was very excited about this project. The education portion was facilitated by our teachers in the classes: Health Relationships, Physical Education, Science, Personal Life Management. Students were able to learn about the topics of sustainability, calculate and manage waste as well as promote sustainable lifestyle choices. We reached over 100 students indirectly and approximately 50 who were directly involved in the learning and teaching to other students. We participated in educational experiences with community partners who were able to speak to healthy lifestyle choices, economic and environmental sustainability.
