Such nice initiatives happening around. Future looking good. Thanks for sharing, scroll!
Another brilliantly made video. One can appreciate all the work that must have gone into the pre production process. Shoutout to the team.
The workers deserve to be given a new pair of rubber gloves, once a month; so they don't have to handle the trash with their bare hands
you guys have improved the narration audio quality too.. nice!
A great conversation would be to push for the use of Menstrual cups. My spouse started using it a few years ago and now would never go back to using sanitary pads.
Add to the ciriculam-
Those companies which go to schools and advertise their products or during puberty age where u r educated regarding periods,sanitary pads,hygiene etc options u should also be taught safe disposal of the same too
The circulatory aspect is very good. Keep it up.
Great initiative Good luck
Certain RWA have already started enforcing waste segregation. This idea of promoting reusable and eco-friendly sanitary products alongwith mindful disposal (red dot) is a wonderful initiative and needs to be propagated amongst the masses. Equipping sanitary workers with the proper PPE is necessary to uphold their dignity and morale for a sustained effort at recycling waste. Keep up the good work!
I must say, the city looks very clean, from what we can see!
Good work with red dot, ,more should be educated for same,,Ask them to wear mask as well,, and gloves
Applauds ❤
You have biodegradable pad with bamboo fibre.
Good video
I think that promoting the use of washable panty liners, or underwear is warranted.
Loving this content?!🎉
Old chullas are best way to incinerate all pads and generate heat energy
