“CRACKERFREE DIWALI- A STEP TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVLOPMENT”
Answers
Answer:
Diwali is the festival of lights that brings good luck, happiness and prosperity to all. The lighted diyas not only illuminate the environment but also has to shack the darkness of poverty and ignorance. But the important question is how far are we able to understand and appreciate the real fact that we are moving away from the real spirit of the fiesta of light? The festival steadily but definitely is becoming one of the major problem for the environment due to the carelessness of the people all around.
Crackers contain toxic compounds like Copper and Cadmium and due to change in the weather these particles / pollution mixes with fog and becomes smog causing asthma attacks, bronchitis, symptoms of allergic rhnitis including running nose and headaches. Smog worsens the situation by suspending the toxic particles in the air for longer time.
Diwali is a festival of lights and not firecrackers. It's about celebrating the victory of good over evil. It is about meeting family and friends. We need to get a victory on the evil of air pollution
