Primary particle Secondary particley particle ondary Particles Surface region Surface Region * Sustainable Arts And Crafts * Introduction In the present era, we witness the textile industry to be the second largest polluter next to big oil accounting for global warming, carbon emissions, and widespread diseases. Effluent from wet processing units is detrimental to marine life. The overflowing landfills with petro based plastics and thermocol are one of the top world concern for future sustainability. Thus it is imperative to stay in harmony with nature and adapt to fair trade practices. Promulgate slow fashion movement and inculcate an ancient holistic health approach in life.
