With Diwali, it’s time for meetings and parties. There are many things that need to be done during Diwali like cleaning the house, decorating, delicious sweets, puja etc. On this Diwali we will do it all again with a lot of fervor and excitement but why not do it as an Eco-friendly way as possible .
Over time, the way Diwali is celebrated has changed a lot. Although the essence is still the same, the focus has shifted from lighting up the whole world with DIY to more cracking crackers and artificial lighting. Since Diwali also means New Year in the Hindu religion, let’s start over by celebrating environmentally friendly Diwali.
Any thoughts I share here are just simple things we can do and celebrate the festival without polluting the environment.
First, the soul of Diwali is to have light everywhere. Instead of using artificial lighting that runs on electricity, use traditional diya that not only saves electricity but also adds beauty to your home. The light produced by many Dijas together is simply unmatched.
The most exciting part of Diwali, especially for kids and teens, is the cracking of crackers. Today, there are organic crackers made of recyclable paper and non-toxic materials. They make noises that do not exceed the decibel limit set by the Pollution Council. It will save older people and young children from being irritated by the sounds of explosions made by bombs, etc.
Diwali is also a time to clean, paint and decorate your home. Use ecological paints that are readily available on the market and are good for both the environment and our health. Do not use objects made of plastic for decoration. Instead, use fresh flowers, make rangoli, use colorful lamps and beautiful decorative objects made of clay. I’m sure you prefer this type of decoration more than the one you have done in the recent past.
Diwali is also a time to share lots of gifts. Try not to waste paper on gift wrapping, use colored cloth or jute bags for gift purposes instead.
So it is Diwali that allows us to give our nature a gift also by celebrating this light-filled festival in an environmentally beneficial way. Happy Diwali to everyone!
