In our rural centres we have conducted training sessions to women as part of women empowerment. They actually ♻️ the unused clothes in to these beautiful door mats. No machines were used just with hands. pic.twitter.com/xZQkd4Pein

There are so many ideas with Indian people to simplify the life. But who is there from government to encourage them to establish cottage industries or small scale industries. We are importing all domestic items from china at cheaper price and made Indian life so easy.sorry state

Plastic is the major problem in dealing with solid waste
Why not help entrepreneurs in setting up recycling plants under a special purpose vehicle??
Every settlement with few lakhs of of people must have one or two plants

Fast fashion and discarded clothes are one of the biggest contributors to pollution in the world, which makes it even more important to promote ideas that repurpose old products.
In March, Nigerian designer Adejoke Lasisi made news after her fashion accessories that were made with 90per cent plastic and 10 per cent textile waste became viral on social media.
