Radical Menstruation
Tampaction Radical Menstruation Movement, http://www.seac.org/tampons/.
“The Tampaction Campaign aims to eradicate the use of unhealthy, unsustainable tampons and pads, institutionalize sustainable alternatives into our schools and communities, and infuse healthy attitudes surrounding menstruation into our culture’s consciousness. We’re letting the world know that bleedin’ can be everyone’s issue. In doing so, we work to destroy patriarchal taboos, end environmental degradation caused by disposable tampons and pads, and promote vaginal and menstrual health.”
