celebrate the festival with
minimum consequences to the
environment. With the bursting
of loud firecrackers, the
pollution in the country rises to
the dangerous level causing
discomfort to the elderly
people, children and pets.

Tips for a green Diwali
1.Avoid using electric lights to illuminate your
home. Instead, opt for diyas (earthen lamps)
and candles. This saves electricity.

2.Limit usage of firecrackers that emit

enormous smoke and sound.

3.Dispose off waste properly

after celebrations.

items.
Why we should celebrate eco friendly
Diwali?
As we celebrate Diwali as a symbol of all
that is good and pure in the world, lets take a
moment and dedicate it to nature this year
by celebrating an eco-friendly Diwali. Air
pollution rises to dangerous levels during
the days of Diwali celebration and energy
and food wastage also increases.
PROBLEMS DUE TO CRACKERS
Problem in hearing ability
High blood pressure
High number of people getting heart
attacks
Sleeping disorders
Provisional or even eternal deafness

If we celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali

these problems are not likely to occur.
