This Raksha Bandhan, as we express our appreciation for our siblings, why not also include in our gratitude, for the ever-generous planet that keeps on giving its riches to us tirelessly? Here are five eco-friendly gifts that will make the earth and your loved ones smile together
Gifting a tree sapling is a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate Raksha Bandhan as it is a living and breathing reminder of your love for your sibling and the earth. This is a gift that will outlast any other and at the same time reward Mother Earth.
Plantable seed rakhis are creative, eco-friendly and biodegradable and will grow on to symbolize the everlasting bond between siblings. Plantable seed rakhis not only celebrate the spirit of Raksha Bandhan but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and promoting greenery.
Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows rapidly and has a minimal environmental impact and you could also gift bamboo and steel water bottles, bamboo mobile holders, tote bags, bamboo stationery, plantable pencils and pens, loofahs and soaps and even indoor bamboo plants that not only look beautiful but also supposedly bring good luck!
Replace single-use, disposable plastics, reduce waste and minimize environmental damage by gifting reusable coffee cups, food containers and cutlery that have superior quality and functionality.
Solar-powered phone chargers or solar power banks are innovative devices that harness sunlight to generate electricity, which can then be used to charge mobile phones and other electronic devices. These gifts can prove to be invaluable as they ensure that the devices stay charged even in the most remote locations
