  It is estimated that nearly 10 million tons of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year. Plastic is made from a mixture of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as their main ingredient. Plastic is used every day, every minute, and every second. According to Plasticoceans.org , approximately 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. That is more than one million bags that are used every minute. Plastic has a slow decomposition rate in natural ecosystems and is a valuable resource we use every day. With plastic is unsustainable and frequently used it is the result of plastic pollution. Plastic Pollution: Plastic is designed for a single-use purpose. We use plastic one time, throw it away and never think about where it ends up. Single-use plastic products contribute to environmental, social, economic, and health consequences. According to the UN environment program , between 1950 to 1970 plastic waste was relatively manageable due to only a small quantit

  Did you know that your period and pregnancy go hand in hand? A period is the result of a female’s body not becoming pregnant during ovulation but when she does become during ovulation a female’s body will no longer menstruate as her body is already prepared for menstruation. Let’s define two words: menstruation and ovulation. Menstruation is the natural process that occurs to a female’s body roughly every 28 days and can last anywhere between 3 and 8 days. Menstruation is the process in which a female’s body sheds the unfertilized egg that was released during ovulation along with the lining of the uterus and blood. Ovulation on the other hand is the process in which a female’s body releases an egg from her ovaries into the fallopian tubes in order to be fertilized. Ovulation can take place 12 to 14 days before a female’s next period. Now that we have defined what menstruation and ovulation you now have a better idea as to why pregnancy and your period go hand in hand. When a female o

  There are roughly 3.9 billion women in this world. Of those 3.9 billion women, 2.3 billion women lack access to basic sanitation methods. That leaves us with 1.6 billion women that have access to basic sanitation. Of those 1.6 billion women,  according to WaterAid , 800 million women, aging from puberty to 35-40 years of age, are menstruating. If we assume that 30 percent of the 800 million menstruating women use sanitary pads, that will give us roughly 240 million women that use only sanitations pads and 560 million women that use other forms of basic sanitation. Women generally get their cycle for 2 to 7 days, lasting up to 10 days, every month. If menstruating women use 6 sanitation pads per cycle, that is 1.4 billion sanitation pads per month and 16 billion sanitation pads per year that end up in our landfills.    What is a Sustainable Period?    A sustainable period is reducing the amount of waste menstruating women use while on their periods.
