Top 5 Ways To Make Your Diwali Eco-Friendly SOURCE:https://diwalidecorations.wordpress.com/2019/09/27/top-5-ways-to-make-your-diwali-eco-friendly/ What is the first thing that comes to mind when we talk about Diwali? Crackers, right? The huge amount of crackers, lights, and diyas make the ambiance and the feel of Diwali. Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. The history of this festival dates back to the time of Lord Rama. People love to celebrate this festival with burning lots and lots of crackers and firing int the sky and littering around. But what is the aftereffect of this one single day? The abundance amount of waste collected on roads and vacant places in the cities is so much that it becomes almost impossible to clear it out. And with the increasing global warming, do we really want to add from our part? Not only this, think about the animals and birds. How traumatic it would be for them to hear such loud noises of crackers and whatnot. Thus, all of us are quite clear that this is not what we want. Then why not to make this Diwali eco-friendly and celebrate it at the same time? Below, we have a list of top 5 ideas that will definitely make your Diwali eco-friendly.
Lanterns Instead Of Firecrackers We know that we all love lighting the crackers and celebrating Diwali. And what is Diwali without crackers? We love the atishbaazi’s in the sky which lights up the sky and every small firecracker which we burn on the roads. But look at the amount of waste and gunpowder that is left after burning them? What if some small child or even an animal eats that powder? It will definitely affect their health. Thus, it is very essential for us to realize that burning crackers is not an intelligent option. We need to look for a substitute. And what we think is where the question of lighting up the sky stands, we have the most efficient and effective option of DIWALI LANTERNS. These lampshades are basically made out of paper where all you have to do is light a fire on a little wax attached to it and release them in the sky. It looks so beautiful that we won’t be able to take our eyes off them. Look below for some inspiration.
Environment-friendly home decoration Diwali We all love to decorate our houses, and especially during Diwali Season. We constantly look for new and unique ideas to decorate our houses, but almost every time we end up using plastic made non-biodegradable things. We use showpieces made of plastic mache and glasses and whatnot, which, when broken, becomes difficult to dispose of. The better option is to use something like showpieces made out of sand or earthen pots which when mixed with waste, disposes of off easily. Some environment-friendly home decor options are:- 1. Wood 2. Bamboo Sticks 3. Flowers and natural leaves, etc. Look below for some inspiration.
Earthen pots and diyas Diwali Diyas and Deepak play a very important role during Diwali. We need to light them up in front of our gods and goddesses and play. This tradition is like oxygen for Diwali. Then what can we do over here to make it more eco-friendly? No questions about it, we have to use these Diyas, so the better option is to use earthen products. We can purchase earthen pots and diyas to make our Diwali more eco-friendly.
Rangoli of natural flowers Diwali Rangoli plays an important role in decorations of the houses during Diwali. We love to craft new designs and fill colors in them. But trust us, filling these rangoli designs with flowers and leaves is much more creative and beautiful than filling them with the colors. Look below for some inspiration.
Say no to plastic Diwali We love to gift our friends and relatives on Diwali. We buy new gifting items for them and wait to meet them so that we are able to give it to them. What we can do over here is that instead of wrapping these in plastic papers, we can put them in paper bags or in jute bags and give it to them. Trust us, this will create a big impact on the environment. We know that you all love to celebrate Diwali as the way you want. But we surely need to keep in mind the aftereffects of our actions. Please be a responsible citizen, and think about what we said. Thank You
