Hey guys whatsapp, this is APOORV, YOUR HOST AND DOST, and this is

The Supreme Court of India has banned sale of firecrackers in Delhi and the National Capital
Region (NCR), due to alarming deterioration in air quality levels. A
three-judge SC bench, which was headed by Justice AK Sikri, has upheld its own
order of 11 November 2016, according to which it suspended all licences which
“permit sale of fireworks wholesale and retail within territory of NCR.” Civil society groups are coming together all over the country to
campaign for a green Diwali and how to celebrate Diwali that is pollution free.
The Diwali ban must not prove to be a dampener. It
could be the harbinger of a movement against the noise pollution and air contamination unleashed by ear
shattering firecrackers and reducing sweets and sugar intake. Diwali, in the
traditional sense, has little to do with myriad fireworks.
Here are 10 green Diwali ideas and pollution free festival of lights and how to celebrate Diwali without crackers.
Here are 10 green Diwali ideas and pollution free festival of lights and how to celebrate Diwali without crackers.
1) Instead of
polluting the environment, you can eschew the firecrackers and celebrate a
really “Green Diwali”. It can be an eco-friendly affair this year. Don’t use electric
lights. Instead, go for small earthen lamps and candles. It would reduce electricity consumption. Flickering lamps look
better too. Go for LED lights if there is has to be electric illumination (they
use 80% less energy than regular lights) to celebrate pollution free Diwali.
2) Although crackers
are banned in Delhi, people in other places could go for environment-friendly ones that are considered less
polluting than others. Better still, give firecrackers a complete miss this
Diwali.
3) Use natural colors rather than chemical colors and use natural ingredients such
as rice powder (white); pulses or turmeric (yellow); cloves or cinnamon (brown); cardamom or fennel (green)
4) Use fresh flowers
such as marigold, jasmine, roses and lilies for decoration to suit the festive
ambience in place of gaudy streamers and electric lights.
5) Use eco-friendly paint for your homes to celebrate
pollution free Diwali.
6) Use organic incense sticks as well as fresh flowers.
Stay away from synthetic room fresheners.
7) Eschew commercial
sweets; they have too much artificial color and sugar. Make your own sweets
such as Laddoos, Barfi, Kheer, Gajar ka halwa using
natural items such as milk, coconut, jaggery, dry
fruits, etc. They will be both unadulterated and nutritious.
8) Don’t buy wrapping paper for gifts and stop trees from
getting cut. Use painted newspaper, pieces of cloth, etc. instead.
9) Try making your
own Diwali cards. If you don’t fancy making them, go the
technology way. Just tweet, message
on Facebook or SMS your wishes
or WhatsApp them.
10) Create awareness about the environment, organize nature walks and talks on the topic. You could
also host a marathon on the subject to create awareness to
celebrate pollution free Diwali.
You can still have the
fun and celebrate a green Diwali clean Diwali.
Let’s all take the pledge on green Diwali.
