Trick 5 February 19, 2009

Use A Mooncup, join the mooncup challenge! Buy a mooncup, reduce your waste!

The Challenge:
Join me in my reduce waste & Save the planet
-and receive a bonus of your own saved cash!!!

How many kilos can we save together ???!!!

Here are the figures: If one girl on average used 4 tampons pr menstruating day and each period was for 4 days she would use 768 tampons a year.
One tampon weighs about (yes, I did weigh it!) 3 grams. That is 2304 grams per year!!

Further if she used one pad per night for 4 nights that is 48 pads per year.
Which weighs about 10 grams each that is 480 grams of PADS!!!

TOTAL WEIGHT PER PERSON IS 2.784 KGs

Moneywise: In NZ you’ll spend about $ 600 on tampons and $ 26 on pads TOTAL SUM OF $ 626!!!! (not so hard maths there.. ehm)

In Norway you ‘ll spend about 1440 kr på tamponger og 120 kr på bind TOTAL SUM ER 1560 KR!!!

HOW?
