article on eco friendly diwali
Answers
Answer:
1. Save electricity consumption:
The energy used in normal electronic lights is wasted a lot instead of this use the traditional way to celebrate the festival and light days and candles which are the better replacement of it. Decorate our houses with flowers, LED lamps, LED lights and rangolis.
2. Use fewer firecrackers:
Diwali without crackers is a no go for many especially children. Since we also have to consider the air and noise pollution caused by the firecrackers. One way to resolve this problem is celebrating Deepawali together as a community that way, everyone gets to burst crackers, but fewer crackers.
3. Reduce plastic use:
During the Deepawali celebration, one thing that gets everyone excited about is Diwali shopping! However, shopping means a lot of plastic bags. Let’s say ‘No’ to plastic shopping bags and use cloth bags when going out for shopping.
4. Organic Rangoli Colours:
Rangolis are a huge part of Diwali celebrations. Pretty and colourful designs make our houses look beautiful, but synthetic colours are dangerous for the environment and unhealthy when inhaled and cause serious health issues.
Lest opt for rangolis that can be made using flowers, or use eco-friendly colours that do not cause harm to our surroundings. Organic rangoli colours are available in the markets easily.
Explanation:
Diwali or Deepawali is known as the 'Festival of Lights' and is one of the most important Hindu festivals in India. Festival of Lights is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya along with Devi Sita and brother Lakshman after 14 years of exile (vanvaas).
Diwali or Deepawali essentially means the Awareness of the Inner Light. In a way, it is the celebration of the awakening and awareness of the Inner Light which has the power to outshine the darkness.
On this day, people decorate their home with diyas, rangolis and decorative lights, wear new clothes, exchange sweets and gifts with each other, burn crackers and in the evening perform, Lakshmi Pujan. Deepawali is celebrated exactly after ten-days of Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami.
Burning firecrackers causes health hazards because of the air pollution caused by the smoke of firecrackers. Pollution is a big issue of the present-day world and has many bad effects on the environment. So, all we can do is increase self-awareness and try to find more eco-friendly ways to celebrate our festivals.
