non-toxic and eco-friendly Holi – natural Holi colours
February 13th, 2009
American novelist, Chuck Palanhiuk said, “When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?”Simple words with a lot to think about.
One of the major threats that we face today is that of global warming. It is not entirely possible to reverse the damage that has already been done but we can do our best to preserve what we have. It is our responsibility to provide a cleaner and greener world for the generations to come.
The Rotary Club of Dabolim Goa, as a part of its “heal the earth – together” programme is promoting and celebrating a non-toxic and eco-friendly holi. For this, we are using Rang Dulaar Natural Holi Colours, which are made on a base of turmeric and contain no chemical content. Additionally, these colours, include an element of recycled flowers collected from the nirmalya which is produced during Ganesh Chaturthi.
Colours that are commercially available are usually industrial dyes that are not meant for human use. These contain toxic heavy metals that can cause serious health problems. Rang Dulaar colours are completely non-toxic, totally non polluting and wash off easily. They are available in five colours, red, yellow, orange, green and black. They are soft to touch and carry an aroma of turmeric.
rs.400 per kg, rs.100 per 250g and rs.20 for 50g.
Rang Dulaar is a product of e-Coexist, a social enterprise that promotes natural and recycled products. The Rotary Club of Dabolim Goa is supporting their efforts and aims at making these colours a household name. The colours are being made available to you at the original cost itself. We do not have any mark-up on the price of the product.
We urge you to join in our efforts to save the planet and enjoy a safe holi!
