|
Earth Day 2020

What's a better way of celebrating Earth Day 2020 than being at our home and not speeding up our cars? Saves pollution, right! These days, we exactly wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and the sky is almost always clear blue - the Earth Day couldn't have been any better. Earth is definitely healing! Adding to that, you can also take care of your ecosystem and earth eventually by wearing sustainable clothes. Sustainability is the need of the hour and the fashion industry has over the years, drastically impacted Mother Nature, being the second most polluting industry in the world. However today, a number of fashion advocates and environmentalists have been promoting sustainability in fashion to revive the ecosystem. They have been encouraging manufacturers to make clothes out of natural fabrics, to recycle materials, and to upcycle too. The consumers are also beckoned to buy less but buy sensibly. We understand sustainable clothes can be a bit towards the expensive side but with the growing concern, the prices of eco-friendly clothes have been reduced. So, here are the five sustainable outfits that you can buy under INR 5000.
