Eco Warrior: Sustainable products you need to include in your lifestyle

The country and the world is developing at an exponential rate- from driverless cars to robot doctor, we are literally, seeing the future unfold in front of us.
But scientific development sometimes comes with a toll on our environment. From plastics to harmful chemicals in our daily products, it became an indispensable part of our lives before we even realized it. This Earth Day, let's pledge to give back to the planet and move forward to adapt more sustainable ways. And to help you in pursuing your journey towards sustainable living, we bring you some sustainable products from local brands you must buy.

Seed Paper Calendar

We might be a bit late but then again, you can save this for 2021. Distance yourself from the glossy papers and toxic inks and get your calendar from 21 Fools. Made from textured handmade paper, these calendar sheets are made of seed paper. After each month you can simply tear the paper and plant them in a pot. And if you're good at taking care of your green friends, you'll have 12 plants by the end of the year! How cool is that?

Out of all the things we use every day, clothes are something we don't see from a sustainable point of view. Do you know, not just the synthetic fabric, even cotton does not fall under eco-friendly material, unless it's made traditionally. Check out this pretty white dress from No Nasties, made from fair-trade cotton muslin. And, the best part, it has pockets.

Whether it's for religious reasons or for aromatherapy, incense sticks are a common part of our households. But then why breathe in harmful fumes by lighting chemically treated incense? Opt for a much safer and eco-friendly version. These incense sticks from PHOOL are made from waste flowers collected from temples and smells absolutely divine.
