Market Season is upon us so I've started adding crochet market bags to my MCM shop 😃!

I also have several that aren't photographed yet so, should anyone be interested, please don't hesitate to reach out with inquiries 😊. And if you're not interested, reposts are also very much appreciated 😄!

*Please note that I'm currently only shipping within the United States.

From our #BIPOC #sisterhood #nonprofit org, #SNIWWOC in #VictoriaBC - Please boost.

Our newest program is here to give BIPOC #menstruators the freedom to be a part of essential activities and not be excluded due to a lack of #MenstrualProducts.

Did you know that up to 70% of menstruators have missed school or work because of their period?

Or that nearly a quarter of Canadian menstruators and a third of menstruators under 25, have reportedly struggled to afford menstrual products for themselves or their dependents?

As an all-women, BIPOC-led and BIPOC-comprised organization, SNIWWOC understands the needs of our community and we are focused on improving their health from a holistic and integrated service model.

With efforts to be #EcoConscious, this program will provide applicants with one #reusable #MenstrualCup to support their period needs.

The #MenstrualFreedom program is funded by The Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, we thank you for your donation!

Eligibility:

Black Women, Indigenous Women, and Women of Colour, Transgender, Non-binary, and Two-Spirit community menstruators.

Must make less than the low-income cut-off line, see the table(on website).

A resident of Greater Victoria, BC, Canada.

#Reusable #bags target poor people because:

1. Single Use #Plastic bags are never single use to #poor people. They use them for storage and as garbage bags. Typically getting two to three uses our of each bag. I'm not going to provide evidence of what is patently obvious to anyone who's spent time in #poverty.

2. Reusable bags cost money. Most places allow you to pay a small amount for paper bags. So, what used to be a free multi-use item now costs #money with additional money now required for storing and #garbage.

3. Poor people often have to engage in expedient shopping. That is, combining a #shopping trip with having to go somewhere else. This is because they are both money and time poor, and so have to be efficient. This creates the burden of having to always have a reusable bad on them. If they forget, it's even more money.

Put into effect in 2020, France's Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Law is focused on phasing out improper disposal of waste. Food service at #DisneylandParis parks has implemented reusable table settings, which has also impacted trash can design. #TrashCanTuesday

Overall costs for #SLS have tipped past $24 billion 💰💰💰💰💰 since the project was first conceived in 📆 2010. But because the #rocket is not #reusable, Congress will have to spend many more billions 💰💰💰 for each subsequent mission. In May, #NASA’s Office of Inspector General issued a #devastating audit of the program, which found that delays to the #SLS booster and engine contracts have resulted in an approximately $6 billion 💰💰💰💰 cost-overrun techcrunch.com/2023/07/13/cong

During the #GreatDepression, when my great grandmother was raising a family, nothing was wasted.

Among the things I cherish most is this #collection of her #buttons. Before there was #fastfashion we made things to last, patched them where they wore thin, and saved the #reusable parts when the garment could no longer be saved.

Many of these buttons are 100+ years old and still have bits of #fabric and #string attached. Some are #bone, #metal, or #shell.
