Everybody celebrates Diwali, but not everyone celebrates a Green Diwali. This time, celebrate Diwali with a difference, keeping in mind an important cause; that of saving our planet. Just because the festival comes once a year doesn't mean we let go of our duties and responsibilities.
In fact, we must make a greater effort to reduce the ill-effects of Diwali. Here are 5 smart ways in which you can go green during Diwali.
1. Use Diyas Instead of Electric Lights
During the 3-4 days of celebrations, electric lights consume a huge amount of power and the effects of it will be felt in the long run. Instead, buy lots of diyas and illuminate your house with its glow. While being organic and traditional, it is closer to the true spirit of Diwali and it will also help those whose livelihood depends on the business.
2. Opt for Eco-Friendly Crackers
Eco-friendly crackers have hit the Indian market big time and we don't see any reason why you opt for the hazardous ones. Though it is comparatively costlier, it is worth spending for since it hugely cuts down on the level of air and noise pollution. As an added advantage, you will be up for compliments on doing your bit to save planet earth.
3. Use Natural Flowers
Turn to Mother Nature this Diwali by investing in natural flowers instead of artificial ones. Artificial flowers are harmful for the environment and, frankly, look gaudy. Natural flowers add a freshness to the surroundings with their fragrance. Natural flowers can also be used in making rangolis which would surely make your mother/sister/wife/partner happier.
4. Gift Herbal Products
In India, Diwali gifts easily translate into sweets, nuts and chocolates. We all know that these aren't the healthiest choices for a person. This time, opt for herbal gifts which are environment-friendly as well as healthy. As for gift options, you can choose from hand-made candles, lampshades, organic gift-baskets, gourmet coffees, special teas or even plants.
5. Recycle Old Stuff
The coolest thing to do this Diwali is to give away your old stuff like clothes, shoes, etc to the less privileged ones. Rather than letting your old items sit idle, have them donate. It will not only rid the environment from unwanted waste but also light the lives of certain people who cannot afford to get new things for themselves.
