Jute is a herb whose strings are dried in long pieces, and it’s one of the most affordable natural materials available; concurrently with cotton, it is one of the most commonly used. Jute plants primarily grow in sunny and wet areas, such as Bangladesh, China, and India.
The Western Countries started using jute to make clothes back in the 17th century, but the people of India kept using them centuries before them. Recently, jute has started to gain popularity again in the West as a fiber beneficial to agriculture and commerce as it is the most environmentally friendly choice one can make and one of the most cost-effective products in the longer run. Let’s find out how much we are contributing to a cleaner environment by opting for Jute over other materials.
1. Rectifying the AQI Level
Researchers have unveiled that 1 hectare of jute farming can devour up to 15 tons of carbon dioxide and emancipate 11 tons of oxygen during the whole process, which is one of the key points to go with jute as we all know the current AQI levels in major cities in India.
2. Reducing Environmental Pollution
It is the best possible alternative to stop toxic trash. Plastic bags are being replaced by jute bags to reduce environmental pollution. The use of plastic bags has been outlawed in India and in many other developing and developed countries due to their harmful factors.
3. Helps in Saving the Natural Oil Reserve
The main component that is required to produce plastic bags is petroleum and it is well known that the natural reserve of petroleum is exhausting rapidly, which will be resulting in a rise in petroleum price and inflation rate.
4. More Land Available for Food production
Jute farming needs less land to grow. One hectare can deliver much more jute fibre than one hectare of a cotton plantation. This area conversion will allow us to produce more food crops and therefore it will slowdown the risk of food inflation compared to the increasing population.
5. Helping in The Structural Improvement In Rural Areas
Jute is mostly grown in the underdeveloped areas of India and Bangladesh near the shore of Bay of Bengal. The raising of jute industries in these areas would boost employment and development which will eventually result in less migration to metropolitan areas.
6. Reduction in the usage of Pesticide & Fertilizers
Jute crop needs less fertilizer and pesticide corresponded to the cotton crop. also when linked to cotton, Jute also necessitates less land to produce the same amount of tissue.
7. Helps in Improving the Soil
The leftover leaves and roots of jute plants have the necessary resources to make the soil more fertile and also helps to enhance its texture.
So, let’s all take the pledge to make mama earth a better place to live by choosing eco-friendly alternatives and condemning the use of plastic bags.
