Varieties Of Baskets With Environment Friendly Products

By Rebecca Brooks


Not only carriers, there are many other areas which use simple plant products. Shampoo, face wash, soaps, face mask, scrubs, and many other products use plant products as main ingredients. Earlier, it was difficult to find the outlets that sell them. But with internet joining all parts of the world, it is easy to get any product. Hence, basketry kits are being sold like hot cakes.

When we search online, we come across different web sites offering various packages. Coir and jute are alternative materials with which carriers are made. Sometimes, a combination of one or more of these materials is also used to make products.

With the change in tastes of people, even the weavers are trying to make unique and modern, trendy products. As per the changing requirements, tables, stools, chairs and sofa sets. With the increase in demand, these items are being displayed in fairs and exhibitions.

Furniture made of plastic and wood may last longer than the above products. But let us think for a minute if we are using plastic chairs and tables. Advantages are light in weight. They are not durable. Wood and plastic ones are prone to scratches. Above all this, it decomposes in soil and does not cause pollution.

For example, many industrial wastes are let into rivers. It adversely affects nature. Cattle and people who use that water will fall prey for dreadful diseases. But, these firms are really not concerned. The government has taken strict measures to arrest this damage and clean up lakes and rivers. Knowledge about preserving nature is now being spread among its citizens.

There is no trust in any product. Suppose we bring home vegetables and fruits. Keep this in a plastic cover and in bamboo carriers and observe for two days. We can easily make out the difference. The ones kept in bamboo holders looks fresh.

Cottage industries are where products are manufactured in homes. Cottage industries should be supported on a large scale. Government is taking measures to support and uplift these industries by providing loans with the minimum interest rate. Rural people are the largest part of people who undertake these jobs. Minimum investment and working at home have made them affordable.

There has to be a segregation of wet and dry wastes. Use more ecofriendly products. No not use plastic covers and other products. Instead, use cane holders. We see a lot of fruit and flower vendors using cane carriers to place flowers and fruits. They are so elegant as well as beautiful.

Though this has led to the production of more goods in less time and affordable to a large number of people, the fact that a lot of people lost their lively hood cannot be denied. Hence, steps were taken by concerned authorities to preserve the art of weaving by offering incentives. Also, various workshops are conducted to educate rural people and create awareness among them.
