When it comes to home decorations and furnishings, we tend to be select items that fit into the theme of our homes. As eco consciousness becomes the talk on the streets and news media, people are seeking ways to stay green and be eco-friendly to our earth. So if you can afford, why not look into 100% organic cotton napkins or homeware made of recycled materials?
One cool place to find eco-friendly home items is BTC Elements, who also stocks women’s apparel, accessories and a wide array of gift items. Do you know that these attractive and colourful handy baskets are made from used potato chip wrappers picked up from the streets of Nepal. The bags are cleaned and wrapped around dried grasses and woven into a functional and beautiful basket. The colorful bowl is created from the outside of the potato chip bag while the elegant silver color is created using the inner lining of the potato chip bag. Each bowl will vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the craft. The story of the bowl is included on a tag.
The proceeds that are generated by producing these handicrafts go back into the community to finance humanitarian aid projects that include primary health care, medical, and educational projects.
