			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the pages here you will find information about the materials we use in EXDL. A lot are from India, but more and more will be added as time goes by. Hopefully this will become a kind of freely available materials library where lots of inspiration can be found - of course all materials being sustainable in all ways. You will also be able to read more about various materials in the <a href="http://www.exdl.com/category/fodder-exdl-radically-rethinking-design/radically-rethinking-design-book/" title="The radically-rethinking-design-book" target="_blank">RRD Book project.</a></p>

<h2>Non violent and wild silks.</h2>
<p>One of the fantastic materials of the nature is silk. However few know that you can also get silk which comes direct form nature (most silk-worms are grown in silk-worm farms and never gets into nature) - but also in some parts of India so called Ahimsa Silk is developed - Ahimsa means non-violent in hindi and as indicated no you leave nature to do what it maybe intended to do, and yet the leftovers (the cocoon) is used for making the most stunning silks. This is a short intro and a lot more material will come here about silks - and it will also be possible to buy silk products here from among others Pradan led by Khitish Pandya, with whom there is a small interview here.</p>
