Considering the present scenarios and looking back to the original reasons behind celebrating Diwali, we will find out that Diwali is meant to celebrate the happiness and joy of being together with friends and family. It also signifies the victory of good over evil. As we have always been taught that Diwali was celebrated to welcome Lord Rama in Ayodhya after an exile of 14 years, people lighted Diyas and Candles to spread the light of joy and hope all around.
However, we have unknowingly changed the perspectives of enjoying and somehow chose a way of celebrating Diwali which is not good for the environment and lives of all the creatures on earth. Burning crackers may give you excitement and a sense of joy but actually it leads to hazardous consequences due to noise and air pollution and may lead to fatal accidents.
We can still come forward and take the initiative to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly way in order to share happiness and joy with our nature and every other organism.
We have listed below some of the ways as an alternative to celebrate an Eco-friendly Diwali:
- Prefer DIY home decoration ideas for Diwali such as using paper lights, lanterns, paper frills, flowers.
- Enlighten your soul and home with lighted Diyas.
- Decorate your handmade Diyas.
- Say no to Crackers and save your family and planet Earth.
- Self-Clean your house and surroundings after the Diwali party.
- Make sure that you say No to Chemical products and prefer handmade and organic stuff.
- Customize your gifts and offerings.
- Share sweets, chocolate, and cookies with your beloved ones and celebrate a happier and merrier Diwali this 2019.
