Bad effects of various festivals on environment need and importance
Answers
Instead of individual celebration prefer community celebration. This will ensure the reduced cost of celebration; paper pollution in a limited space and as compared to the individual celebration, a community celebration will cause less air and noise pollution.
Even while celebrating commonly make sure that you limit your celebration for a limited period of time. Your celebration can last for maximum 3 to 4 hours.
Instead of selecting traditional chemical cracker this Diwali goes for eco-friendly Diwali crackers. Eco-friendly crackers are made up of recycled paper and the sound produced by these crackers is under the decibel limit defined by the Pollution Board. These crackers produce paper fluffers and different color lights instead of sound on bursting.
Instead of electric illumination go for traditional lightening of earthen lamps or diyas. This will not only enhance the beauty of your house but will also cut down the enormous electric consumption. Though earthen lamps need oil the quantity is less and it gives light for at least 3-4 hours.
Cut down your shopping list and avoid purchasing unwanted and unnecessary things this Diwali. Excess consumerism is directly related to the consumption of raw material used to manufacture those things. Excessive consumerism increases the undue pressure on the natural resources.
Instead of buying “one-time use” items go for recyclable things. Secondly while cleaning your home, instead of disposing of things it is better to give it to underprivileged people.
