Biodegradable Rakhis: Opt for Rakhis made from natural materials like cotton threads, seeds, and organic embellishments that can decompose easily.
Digital Gifts and E-Cards: Rather than buying material gifts, consider gifting e-books, online course subscriptions, or sending heartfelt e-cards.
Reusable Gift Wrapping: Use cloth wraps (Furoshiki-style), newspaper, or recycled paper to wrap gifts. Add a personal touch with hand-painted designs.
Home-Cooked Delicacies: Instead of store-bought sweets with excessive packaging, prepare traditional sweets and snacks at home using organic ingredients.
Plant a Tree: Make it a tradition to plant a tree every Raksha Bandhan. It’s a long-lasting gift that benefits the environment.
