Did you know that you are saving the planet in 10 amazing ways jussssttt by being a little environment friendly? Keep your opened jaws and bright eyes the same while you read this blog post.

1) No Plastic? Yes, the impact of this is drastic!
There was a research study that said that there would be more plastic than fish in the sea.
Can you even imagine the levels of pollution we would be causing if we do not take a stand to save the planet? Since when did it even become alright and okay for the aquatic
animals to die because of our bad behavior? That is something unacceptable truly! By using eco-friendly products, you have already taken that first step for a sustainable environment. Guess what is the complimentary benefit that comes with gifting someone an eco-friendly product? Well, you even sensitize them about the environment and bring about a change too. What’s better than that? Kudos to you!

2) Do those layers of packaging still have a say?
Just look at the layers of wrapping that a gift has. All of that is truly unnecessary. The gift wraps are most often than not, discarded right away! Now, here is a mind blowing fact.

Americans spent around $15.2 billion on unwanted holiday gifts in 2019, and specifically 4% ended up in trash. Gifting intentionally with a purpose to build a better world is noble. By using eco-friendly gifts we can minimize plastic usage. There are eco-friendly fabric wraps that can be used as a healthy alternative. Remember, that most of the glittery and shiny gift wraps are essentially not biodegradable!

3) What is even going on and why?

Gifting something to someone does not need a special occasion. You do not really need a reason to celebrate life. Do you? But, think of eco-friendly ways of gifting something to someone. In the trend of instant gratification, let us learn to pause and reflect on what we can give firstly. Not just the
physical products, there are digital products and digital gifts trending these days. Are you really hopping on to the latest trend? Not every occasion needs a glittery and shiny gift. The best gift can be something that is more budget-friendly and environment friendly. Gifting someone designer wear? Gift a cotton fabric instead. Thinking of chocolates? Think of jaggery and sweets that come with less packaging.
It is just the little things like this that make a major difference. Lastly, the best gifts like time, love, and companionship in life are always free!

4) Are we really in favor of artisans and classic marvels?

History is always worth cherishing. We are bound by our social responsibilities to protect our culture and heritage. India prides upon the local handicrafts and art that can make wonderful gifting options. That way we are also celebrating the unsung heroes, the artisans and craftsmen who work day in and out to create the masterpiece they want. Using these products as decor pieces not only adds value to the space but also fills it with charm and beauty!

5) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and finally Repeat.

By using eco-friendly gifts we are not only reducing the waste generation but also contributing towards reusing and recycling the products. Eco-friendly gifts are recyclable and can be used to serve more than one purpose. Consider a gunny bag, this can be altered to make hand bags or sling bags that can be
used for a different purpose. Eager to see our environment friendly tote bags collection? Click here?

6) Has the fashion industry become the fastest polluting industry?

Raise your hand if you have jeans in your wardrobe! Raise your hand if you use cosmetics made of parabens. Raise your hand if you ever smoked a cigarette, in the name of ‘cool’ and ‘fashion’.

Did you know that there are toxic dyes that are used in the denims and jeans that contaminate the soil?
Did you know that certain cosmetics contain chemicals which are not only harsh on your skin but also on the environment?
Smoking is not only injurious to your health but also to the environment! Even thinking of giving someone a hookah pipe or a cigar can be considered a silly offence!
Having your eyes on buying those slim fit jeans even now?
Consider switching to cotton pants that are more readily biodegradable.

7) Step not out of your house without ‘the bag’!

Practice carrying a jute bag or a cloth bag whenever you step out of the house. It is always better to carry than to ask for a ‘plastic cover’ at the local market.
Some shopping malls and gift shops have incorporated the usage of paper bags. Kudos to them! But, we can even reduce paper bags usage by simply carrying our cloth bags. Beware, this number can blow your mind. The U.S.A. uses over 100 billion plastic bags every year, with an average of 300 bags per person or 1,500 bags per household, and just 1% to 3% gets recycled. https://totebagfactory.com/blogs/news/why-do-we-need-eco-friendly-products

8) Still looking for the ‘customer copy’ when you swipe your card at the gift shop?

When there is so much digitalization in place, save the world some paper! Kindly consider avoiding the customer copy. A collective effort to avoid those can save the planet from cutting down trees. Even today, trees are being cut to make paper. Regardless of the paper quality or the GSM, cutting down on the customer copy
reeaaalllyyyy helps!

9) Can those greeting cards or the books go digital? Pllleeasssee?

Not everyone out there is a fashion freak. Few are bookworms curling themselves on the
bed with a book on the busy weekend. Remember to go as digital as you can. Books
can become ebooks. Gift someone an ebook. And those greeting cards? Well, a digital
copy can be preserved for a lifetime.
Doing that can help the environment in ways beyond your imagination.

10) For the foodies – double check the Aluminum foil.

Aluminum is one of the most recycled products in the world. Next time, before you throw away or directly discard the aluminum foil, make sure to recycle it. Who does not like to munch their favorite cookie? But, when it comes with the aluminum packaging, pause and juuussstt look for ways to recycle it.
The best way out would be to give it to the local food store or the restaurant!
