TamPontification

My sister, Nancy, sent me a link to TamPontification, a site run by Seventh Generation, a supplier of non-toxic and environmentally safe household products.

Here's the text from the site:

Women’s shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly, and, while agencies generally assist with everyday necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, this most basic need is often overlooked. You and I may take our monthly trips down the feminine care aisle for granted, but, for women in shelters, a box of tampons is five dollars they can’t spare. Here’s some good news: you can help us contribute to rectifying this situation by making a virtual donation! For each virtual donation, Seventh Generation will send a pack of organic cotton tampons or chlorine-free pads to a shelter in your state.

For those of you who are skeptical, this claim is true, according to Snopes.com.

To donate, visit http://www.tampontification.com/donate.php .
