Pratibha
We talked to Pratibha, who is an eco blogger and a green living enthusiast. We found her online, where she was talking about organic products that she tries out and recommends.
When we approached her, she was initially surprised that students from NID were interested in things like green living or sustainability. Here we get a clue of how design students are perceived by some of the outside world. Praveen nudged us to consider how we might change that narrative of NID in the outside world
She started looking into natural and organic cosmetics when she came across one such product in a store. She thought it would be a good idea to use such products for her twin boys which were just one year old. As she read more about these products, she got the environmental impact of the things we use. She started to made changes in the rest of her life too. Simple small products seem to have big changes. An example she gave was, a detergent that she used to clean her dishes and floors created waste water, which was harmless enough to water her plants with.
How do you know products are actually what they claim to be?
-Be a responsible consumer
-Contact the owners, demand for answers
-Genuine companies will not hesitate to give an ingredient list
