I had to tell someone.

Every September, the UK Marine Conservation Society does a beach cleanup. They (and their volunteers) count the pieces of garbage they collect on the beaches, and they do this on beaches around the country. They count pieces of trash by category, such as plastic bags, so they have a total number for each category.

Last year, they found more than 20,000 tampons and pads on beaches, after said items had been flushed down the toilet. 20,000!!!!!
And that category only made up 6 percent of the total trash found.

Let me know if you want ordering info for the mooncup or a washable pad maker.
