Thanks to everyone who came to the expo yesterday. It was a great success and we were glad to see members of the community come out and express their interest and learn about DIY, harmful products and their alternatives and women environmental activists.
Lots of people got busy making their own resuseable pads and we may have even convinced several women to try out the diva cup, though there were a fair share of remarks like "what is that??" or "you stick it in your...?" The most amusing, however, was the tampon that Tabitha put in a cup of water at the beginning of the expo to illustrate what happens to tampons when you flush them down the toilet. It looked like an exotic sea creature, and people had to ask what it was, picking up the cup inquisitively, and then putting it down with disgust when they got their answer.
We will be posting the information provided at the expo for our readers. Stay tuned for info on chemicals in cosmetics, tampon and pad alternatives, feminism and vegetarianism and DIY.
