As Diwali approaches and all of us get upbeat in the festive mood, let’s not forget our committment to the society as responsible citizens. Let’s spare a thought for the environment. Here’s calling for a safe and green Diwali!
How to celebrate eco-sensitive diwali?
- Share food, sweets and clothes with the lesser privileged.
- Donate for relief operations in Karnataka.
- Instead of individual celebration prefer community celebration in a open ground.
- Instead of electric illumination for long hours go for traditional lightening of earthen lamps or diyas.
- Reduce the amount of things we use.
- Reuse the things we have in different forms until we have absolutely no use for them
- Recycle items that are no longer functional.
- Rethink the choices we make when deciding to buy something
- Refuse things that we do not need at all.
Wish you a very Happy Diwali!
