Nitin's first brand new clothes !

You all are now well aware of the hand painted organic T shirts and bags we make using non-toxic paints. They are smart, sassy and cool environmentally conscious designs , playfully made by rural children with the kind consent of thier parents. Together, we make good use of their summer vacations and also add immense value to our 100% organic cotton and bamboo T shirts for all ages.

Last week itself I paid Rs.1200/- to a 16 year old boy named Nitin. That very evening he went to buy a denim jeans for himself. The next morning he came and very enthusiastically said " Didi maine do nayi jeans khareedi hai" , which means - elder sister , I purchased two new pairs of jeans. I was happy for him and I asked how much did he buy it for, and he said that he got 2 for Rs.500/- each. I thought to myself that he literally blew away all his money and has nothing left for his education.

I asked his mother, who works at our place about this big purchase and she was smiling. She said that she didn't want to dampen his spirit of making the first wardrobe buy of his life. I was shocked - he had purchased clothes for the first time in his life. All these years, he could never afford to wear new clothes - he would always wear what was given for him to his mother as alms or as compensation along with her work.

His mother is a household servant. Even we would give my brothers old clothes to her not realizing that these old clothes are his only wardrobe and he has NEVER bought anything new EVER !

I was so touched and felt good about being able to provide a better life at least to a handful to begin with.. I so strongly felt that the realization of our mission for Adya International would actually begin with small pockets and small steps taken towards a better future of all people associated with us. It has been the strongest belief of the company that only by making others happy, you realize your happiness.

25 ways of SAVING WATER

Considering the water shortage that the whole world is facing today, conservation and intelligent utilisation of water resources has become extremely essential. Small measures can make a big difference. To think of it, getting an ordinary toilet leak repaired could lead to saving of nearly 200 litres of water a day while a faucet leak repair can save up to10,000 litres a year. Here are 25 ways to get you started on the 'save water' mission: Saving water indoors
1.
Think you might have a leak? Check by reading your water meter before and after a 2-hour period when water hasn't been run in your house. If the reading isn't precisely the same, you've got a leak.
2.
If you've got a well-water system and the pump comes on when no one is using water, you have a leak.
3.
Dripping faucets need to be repaired right away. Usually it's a simple matter of switching worn washers. Check all the washers in the house and replace them all at once.
4.
Install faucet aerators to slow the flow of water.
5.
Rinse vegetables over a large bowl and reuse what would have gone down the drain to water plants.
6.
Defrost foods in the microwave instead of under running water.
7.
Insulate water heater and water pipes. (65% of the water you use is hot water.)
Saving water in the bathroom
8.
Don't let the water run incessantly when you are shaving, brushing your teeth, etc.
9.
Replace two-handle systems with single-lever faucets.
10.
Install low-flow showerheads that reduce water usage up to half but still give a great feeling shower.
11.
Get a showerhead with a "shower off" button to conserve water while you lather up.
12.
Take shorter showers. Five-minute showers per day for a four-member family use about a staggering amount of water.
13.
Find out if the toilet is leaking by adding a few drops of food colouring into the toilet tank. If the colour leaks into the bowl, replace the flapper.
14.
Don't use the toilet as a wastebasket or ashtray. This will prevent unnecessary flushing.
Saving water in cleaning
15.
Older standard washing machines use up to 180 litres of water per load; newer models use only 42-115 gallons. Switch to a new model.
16.
Don't wash half loads, and if you do, adjust the water level.
17.
Presoak clothes to prevent re-washing of heavily soiled clothes.
18.
If you're washing dishes in a double sink, wash them all at once and rinse them all at once.
Saving water outdoors
19.
Landscape your garden or your house with plants that need less water.
20.
Don't over water your plants. Buy a gauge to measure the rain your lawn gets.
21.
Use a sprinkler with a timer to ensure affective water usage for watering your lawn.
22.
Make sure your sprinkler system isn't watering the sidewalk, driveway or street.
23.
Water lawns during the time of day when temperature and wind speed are lowest to reduce evaporation.
24.
Over-fertilization increases your lawn's need for watering. Don't over feed.
25.
Mulch plants well so they may retain moisture.
Save water, save life!

Why Buy Organic Baby Clothing ?

If you are expecting or have just delivered a baby, congratulations! As parents if you are looking to impact your child’s view of the world by choosing an organic lifestyle, we commend you! One of first new things you will need to purchase is organic baby clothes.

Buying Organic Baby clothing clothing has several advantages. Because they are made without chemicals and pesticides, the chances that baby will suffer from rashes or skin conditions are slender. Non organic cotton is produced with synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. This is practiced all over the the globe. Exposure to such toxic elements in children can lead to side effects including difficulty breathing, asthma, and vision problems. Now just imagine buying such clothes for your little one. Most of these chemicals are so powerful that they can easily be absorbed into baby’s fragile skin. Now please understand, the cotton is not the problem, but the chemicals which are used to produce cotton. Buying organic baby clothing will reduce the risk considerably of baby developing a skin rash and allergies. You will also be helping protect the environment. The USDA has established stringent guidelines for certifying cotton organic. Farm inspections are necessary to make sure all organic guidelines for cotton production are obeyed and followed. Organic Cotton Baby Clothes come in many styles and fashions.

From onsies and body suits to mittens, pants and jackets, organic baby clothes have come along way with many companies designing many lines. In fact there may be only a 10% price increase in quality organic clothing over its non organic counterpart. Spending a few dollars more for baby’s health is something most parents will do without seriously affecting their budget.
