Diwali is the one festival in India which is celebrated by all irrespective of caste, creed and religion. Diwali is celebrated to acknowledge the victory of good over evil.But with the changing time the style of celebrating Diwali has also changed drastically.

How to Celebrate Eco-Friendly Dewali?

Fireworks and safety tips:-

• Always use under adult supervision.
• Purchase only legal fireworks, available at approved stands.
• Read and follow instructions given on the fireworks packs.
• Always keep water and sand nearby, and a water hose pipe if possible.
• Fireworks are for strict outdoor use.
• Never try to make your own fireworks.
• Never relight fireworks that appear to have gone out. Wait for 15 minutes, and then soak the firework in a bucket of water.
• Only light one firework at a time.
• Never allow small children to go near fireworks.
• Store in a cool dry place.
• Never lean over top of fireworks to light them.
• Tie hair back, wear caps, wear safety goggles and no loose fitting clothes. Wear cotton clothes, and cover your body as much as possible. Shoes are a must.
• Sparklers should be immersed in sand or water bucket as soon as they appear out - they are still very hot and are known to cause the maximum number of accidental burns to children.
• After you finish — be responsible. Make arrangement to clear up all the mess the next morning. Wash your hands and feet, and firework material can be toxic, and s bad for your health.

Also WE CAN HAVE A CRACKERS SHOW FOR 2 HOURS IN A COMMON PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE AND ENJOY THE CRACKERS, INSTEAD OF EACH DOING AT THEIR HOME IN A SMALL WAY AND MAKING THE WHOLE CITY DUSTY WITH PAPER

• ONLY A LITTLE OF AIR AND SOUND POLLUTION
• CAN BE HAD IN A PLACE FAR FROM HOSPITALS
• SAFE MEASURES CAN BE ENSURED IN THAT PLACE
• MONITORING OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IS EASY
• ENJOYMENT CAN BE SHARED BY ALL AT THE SAME PLACE
•  A GET-TOGETHER IS EASY

Happy Diwali To you All in Advance.
