This article tries to sensitize the readers towards celebrating an
environmentally safe Diwali by pointing out the major impacts that
Diwali has on our environment and your health.
Diwali is known as the ‘festival of lights’. Diyas (clay lamps) are lit to chase away the darkness of ignorance and welcome the bright light of enlightenment. Many of the cases we are not bothered about our environment and take risks about your own safety.
We should celebrate True Diwali in traditional styles with out giving up joy and happiness. Lets us follow the below simple tips celebrate a safe and eco friendly Diwali.
Let’s Explode Joy without Crackers
For many of us burning crackers and making sounds is a way to enjoy and have thrill. But people won’t think about how these crackers are harmful to environment and health.
It can cause throat, nose & eye related problems which can later develop into adverse health hazards.
It can lead to headaches & reduced mental acuity when it reaches the level of 100 ppm. Burning crackers throws more smoke in to the Air which has much more severe effects in people with heart, respiratory or nervous system disorders. It can aggravate problem for people suffering from cold, allergies or coughs and can also cause congestion of throat & chest. Increase amount of noise has harmful effects on animals as well as humans
So let’s Say a BIG NO to Crackers and Fireworks and save our environment and health.
Burn Lights using Traditional Oil Lamps to Reduce Electric Power
Electric Power is already overloaded in our country. The use of electric power to light homes, business establishments, monuments and roads requires a huge amount of electricity. The older tradition of burning oil lamps is a possible alternative to electric lights – even though it does use oil, the duration of the lamps is shorter.
Lets Celebrate Diwali with family and relatives to enjoy more joy and happiness. I wish all my readers “HAPPY DIWALI”.
