Green Time of the Month

Providing students with access to comprehensive sexual health knowledge and resources is the heart of equitable, intersectional sustainability. Students who may experience financial hardship are given an opportunity to meet their menstrual needs through this project, which helps to alleviate period poverty here on campus. By empowering people who menstruate with the knowledge and resources to switch to reusable and sustainable products, Health and Habits works to reduce NAU’s waste by hundreds of thousands of pounds. The Green Time of the Month project acknowledges the interconnectedness of sustainability and health and aims to support students who menstruate with sustainable period products.
