    A safe space & a sustainable period w/ EcoFemme

    On this episode we are in conversation with Kathy Walking and Jessamijn Miedema from EcoFemme. They started EcoFemme in 2010, in an effort to create environmental and social change through revitalising menstrual practices that are healthy, environmentally sustainable, culturally responsive and empowering. So far, they have prevented close to 79 million disposable pads from ending up as waste in a landfill. As this episode releases on women’s day, let’s show our support by joining their movement and transforming the way we think about our periods. Follow them @ecofemme
