The city of Sherbrooke has just announced an increase in the amount for financial assistance for the purchase of durable feminine hygiene products . For women followers of zero waste and an eco-responsible lifestyle, this excellent news will allow the purchase of eco-responsible products such as washable sanitary napkins or menstrual panties.
Sherbrooke increases financial assistance for sustainable feminine hygiene products
The first amount offered by the city was $40,000 to help customers wishing to opt for a more eco-responsible lifestyle. After nearly 600 requests for financial assistance for durable hygiene products, Sherbrooke must double the initial amount. Thus, a financial assistance program makes it possible to reimburse up to 75% of the cost depending on the citizen's income. Currently, about 80% of claims are for durable feminine hygiene products. You could therefore opt for Marie fil menstrual panties or her washable sanitary napkin , all made in Quebec.
Sherbrooke towards an eco-responsible lifestyle
Many cities in Quebec already offered a subsidy for the purchase of sustainable feminine hygiene products . This environmental decision makes it possible to reduce the ecological footprint of citizens. By reducing the use of single-use items, as well as the production of greenhouse gases, the population of Sherbrooke will allow the reduction of residual materials sent to the landfill site. Moreover, the Marie fil team would like to proudly salute the cities and regions that have decided to encourage an eco-responsible lifestyle.
