Eco-Friendly Diwali
Celebrating Diwali and all other festivals without causing pollution is the direst need of the hour; if we don’t celebrate them in eco-friendly way, we may not live to celebrate them for the years to come.
All life forms adapt according to the existential challenges and difficulties, man included. Man has made his life so complex that he appears to have been lost in the labyrinths he unwittingly or wittingly woven around himself. One such labyrinth is the labyrinth of environmental degradation. It had never been so critical in the entire history of mankind as it is now. Man’s thoughtless and short-sighted approach to life mingled with greed and avarice have brought the entire life on the brink of annihilation.
He must change his life-style, traditions, customs, festivals, and general ways of living in such a manner as don’t interfere with the balance of environment any longer. If he doesn’t, life will cease to exist. Keeping the critical state of environment in mind, Diwali celebrations will have to undergo a drastic change. Till present time, Diwali is synonymous with pollution creating practices, such as bursting crackers by millions of people, candles, etc, send tons of toxic smoke into the already polluted environment, which further degrades it. In the 21st century Diwali, people will only use electric lights to light their houses. For crackers, some non-polluting alternatives will have to be replaced. Crackers that don’t cause any pollution need to be invented. Crackers that go up emit light without any smoke. Crackers made of laser light can be a good replacement for the traditional bangers.
Other traditions such as worshipping of goddess Lakshmi, eating sweets, exchange of gifts, etc., may go on unchanged. That’s how the Diwali celebrations may undergo some changes in the days to come!
Let’s pledge to celebrate Diwali without causing any pollution for our own and our children’s health and bright future.
