Thought to Be Extinct For 42 Years, Cute Critter is Finally Spotted by Guy Eating Lunch
This conservation success story is only made better by the fact that this tiny salamander – which was thought to be extinct – is really cute.
In honor of International Women's Day, the Indian government has just launched a line of biodegradable sanitary pads that will soon be sold to women of all ages and demographics.
The "Suvidha" pads, which will be sold for Rs. 2.50 a pop ($0.15), are going to be made available in 3,200 Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi centers across the country.
The centers are a part of the country's Department of Pharmaceuticals campaign to make medications and prescription drugs available to the masses for affordable prices.
The cheap, oxo-biodegradable napkins will especially be welcomed by underprivileged women who have voiced their dissent towards India's 12% tax on feminine hygiene products in the past.
According to NDTV, Ananth Kumar, the Union Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers and Parliamentary Affairs, said: "This affordable sanitary pad will promote hygiene, ease of disposal as well as keep the environment clean."
The pads will be released into stores nationwide on May 28th – which also happens to be World Menstrual Hygiene Day.
