Everyone in India always eagerly waits for Diwali.
During Diwali, people wear the most fabulous outfits & have lots of sweets,
families and friends get together and enjoy.
At night, there is bursting of fire crackers.
But this harms the environment.
Due to this air pollution, health of people is getting affected.
Crackers are the reason the environment is getting polluted.
We should avoid bursting crackers to protect the environment.
We should do something else instead.
Crackers are not a must! By wasting money on crackers you are just harming the environment.
Instead you can use the money to help others.
I will tell you six points on how you can make Diwali happy for others:
People plan to buy clothes, sweets and even crackers on Diwali.
Instead of spending money on crackers, you can buy sweets or give that money to the poor.
These poor people do not have the money to celebrate Diwali.
So instead of bursting crackers which will spoil the environment,
use that money to make a needy person happy. This in turn will make you smile as well.
We know that bursting crackers may be a part of the tradition.
But you can change the tradition.
Instead you can plant a sapling.
Seeing the plant grow, will remind you of Diwali every year.
This can be called as Happy Diwali.
Stray dogs suffer the most because of the noise pollution caused due to fire crackers.
They are not able to get food as they are hiding because of the noise around.
You can instead, buy food and feed the stray animals which will make your Diwali perfect.
You may feel lonely and bored if you do not burst crackers during Diwali.
Instead, spend time playing card games with family and friends.
Spend more time talking to them and have fun.
We all enjoy Diwali, but there old age homes where senior citizens are staying away from their families.
You can go to an old age home to volunteer. The aged there will feel a less lonely.
November and December is winter time.
You may buy new clothes. But think about poor people who do not have warm clothes for winter.
Collect all the clothes that you will never wear, collect it from your friends as well,
and donate it to the poor. This will make Diwali happy for poor people.
You can even buy new and donate. This will be Happy Diwali.
Or you can even collect and donate it to organizations that will send it to those in need.
You saw the six points to celebtrate Diwali without crackers and saving money.
Instead giving happiness to others, makes Diwali memorable for you also.
When you give happiness, you get happiness which you remember for lifetime and it also saves the environment.
Have a Happy and Safe Diwali!
