This Rakhi, see your sibling love grow with plantable rakhis

Highlighting the reason behind the innovative concept, Saurabh H. Mehta, founder of eco-friendly goods manufacturer BioQ explained, 'Every year, I end up with 5-6 rakhis on my wrist. The very next day I don't know what to do with them. I would keep them in a drawer, and after a few days even those end up in the garbage. So, we thought of making rakhis which could be planted after the festival.'

'When you buy a plantable rakhi and say no to synthetic rakhi, you actually vote for a greener planet,' said Smita Bhatter from By Smita, a gifting service. View this post on Instagram SB 04 and SB 17 :- Going with the flow! Atop the Nilachal Hills in Assam, India, thousands of devotees gather for celebrating menstruation… & that too of a Goddess in a temple!! On contrary to this, in India, 70% of Indian mothers consider menstruation dirty! Also, more than 60% females have to follow some or other form of restriction during periods. Around 23% (almost one in every four!) girls drop out of school in rural India due to social stigmas around menstruation.  It's time we rid our society of stigmas around menstruation. Let’s celebrate this vital process of a female body by planting the Bixa orellana seeds this band is offering which has been traditionally used as a natural source of food colour & dye. #rakhi2019 #rakhi #seedbands #ecofriendly #plasticfree #indigenouscottonband #seedrakhi #seed #period #handmade #handspun #handcrafted #macrame #crochet #knitting #sustainablefashion #sustainable #biodegradable #alternativefashion #artisan #gramartproject #rural #alternative #clothpadrevolution #reduce #bleedwithpride #artivism #art A post shared by Gram Art Project (@gramartproject) on Jul 20, 2019 at 9:29am PDT Given the auspicious occasion, BioQ limits itself to tulsi seeds in its rakhis. 'However, we give plantable pencils with tomato seeds as part of kits so that even sisters have something to plant,' said Saurabh. Mothers often find this a useful gift to teach young kids about being environmentally conscious and about growing plants too, he said.
