Over the past few years, it’s become clear that the need to go green is not just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination.  Across the globe, individuals, as well as entire companies, have been taking initiatives to become greener.  And, no, they aren’t going to Sherwin-Williams and dumping gallons of forest green on themselves.  They’re developing methods by which they can conduct efficient, eco-friendly business.

One of the easiest ways, thanks to the internet, that businesses are going green is to become paperless.  E-commerce has swept the global market place by storm.  Orders are placed and processed between different countries as if they’re right down the hallway from one another.  Unfortunately, however, it’s difficult for any business to go completely paperless.  You’re always going to have certain documents that need to be physically saved on paper and not a hard drive.  That being said, when it’s time to destroy those documents, you should take initiatives to ensure their destruction is done so in green fashion.

Paper shredding companies, like most other companies, have been compelled to go green.  Of course, though, when you’re in the business of destroying paper—which means that more paper will have to be created—that can be tricky.  However, tricky doesn’t mean impossible. Paper shredding services have found environmentally friendly methods to destroy and reuse documents.

One popular method of document destruction is mobile shredding.  Obviously, the idea of shredding paper while exhaust spews out from a truck doesn’t seem very green.  However, companies are now using state-of-the-art mobile shred trucks that are equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems which include a diesel particulate filter.  The filter traps soot from the engine exhaust gases reducing the amount of pollutants released into our atmosphere.  Additionally, companies try to incorporate as many eco-friendly products as possible in their day-to-day operations.  This includes biodegradable products and soy-based cleaning supplies.  Also, many paper shredding companies are some of the biggest recycling companies.  By reusing the shredded documents, these companies are actually slowing down the demand for harvesting trees to make paper.

While most green initiatives are only baby steps in the revitalization of our environment, it is refreshing to see even traditionally non-green businesses making the effort to better this planet.

 

This textile creation is simply awesome. The lush scalloped parrot green lehenga saree reflects top class imagination. This arresting saree has the charm enough to freeze a party.

The lehenga part of the saree is neatly panelled and embroidered with stone and sequin works. The orange thread and red stones complement the parrot green silky lehenga. The floral patterns are not the same. There are two types of patterns. One of the floral patterns has red stone surrounded by orange and light brown embroidery which are concentric to each other. The other type of pattern looks like a sunflower. The stone is surrounded by brown embroidery and orange petals which are numerous and scattered around the centre of the flower. These flowers have carefully embroidered stalks and leaf patterns that add to the poise of the saree. This embroidery is rather dense in the bottom of the saree than the top. The top has its share of embroidery while the knee position has only scattered stone work. This placement of design makes the saree unique and outstanding.

The pallu is a transparent green textile that is precisely bordered with zari, zardosi, resham and bead works. The scalloped border with its totally new sequins, bead, zari and zardosi reflect fresh imagination in traditional wear. The borders of pallu are thin lace on which the red stones are overlapped with orange thread embroidery.  The colour of the border strip matches that of the lehenga while the saree is a shade darker. The designs and edges look casual, yet they are placed with calculation in their position. Multi coloured studded bangles with heavy neckwear go well with this saree. A green clutch with studded slippers would make the picture perfect. The combination of colours, thread, design and layout needs to be applauded. The saree is great for morning or afternoon weddings.
