With the world getting more and more polluted and contaminated, it is of paramount importance to have a dedicated day to celebrate World Environment Day, even though as an abiding citizen, world environment day should be celebrated every single day. Recently, we read how a mammal as big as a whale died in Thailand by consuming plethora of plastic contaminated by us people. We only have one planet earth and it is our duty to protect it. We caught up with some entrepreneurs who are contributing their bit to protect the environment.

One such company is Rugs and Beyond which sells handmade rugs and carpets to customers worldwide while empowering local weavers and craftsmen in Northern Rural India and co-founded by Sakshi Talwar. Recently, Rugs and Beyond launched a line of rugs using natural material and this initiative was a way to preserve the environment and reduce carbon foot print in this contaminated world. Rugs and Beyond introduced primarily three types of Rugs that are mainly made out of natural fibres such as Jute, Sari Silk and Pure Cotton.

“Sari Silk Rugs are handcrafted using Recycled Sari Silk procured from South India. Such rugs are usually made in bright, vibrant colors and have a distinctive appearance that enhances the beauty of a space with subtle interiors.” said Sakshi who is also launching her own line of rugs this fall 2018. We as people use artificial stuff, plastic and adulterated material that ruins the environment. We certainly need more Start-ups like Rugs and Beyond that are ventures with a social and environmental purpose. Apart from using Sari Silk Rugs, another popular natural fibre which is great to use is Jute. Jute rugs are gaining excessive popularity due to the nature of its thread and its tenacity. Such Jute Rugs are usually preferred in coastal regions considering the weather is cool and breezy. Additionally, Jute Rugs are also great for outdoor rugs for patio.

While Rugs and Beyond is launching their natural material rugs, we also see a lot of clothing brands coming up with their new lines of garments using organic Cotton which we think is great. Talking about Cotton, this company also has an excellent range of cotton dhurries which are perfect and ideal for the summer. Such Dhurry rugs make excellent choice for summer time and moreover such pieces are reversible and easy to wash.

While the world celebrates World Environment day, how about we all contribute our bit and do something to save our planet before it’s too late. We certainly need more companies like Rugs and Beyond coming forward and supporting such social and environmental issues.
