Good morning, respected teachers, and my dear friends.

Today, I’d like to share a few thoughts on celebrating an eco-


friendly Deepavali. Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is one of
the most vibrant festivals in India. It’s a time for lights, joy,
and togetherness. However, amid the festive cheer, we must
consider the impact our celebrations have on the
environment. Bursting firecrackers has become a common
way to mark this occasion, but the effects on the
environment are concerning.

When we burst crackers, we release harmful pollutants into


the air, including toxic gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
oxide. These pollutants not only harm the air we breathe but
also contribute to respiratory problems, especially for those
with asthma and other respiratory conditions. Furthermore,
the loud noise from crackers can be distressing for animals,
particularly pets and street animals, causing them stress and
anxiety.

So, how can we celebrate Deepavali in a way that keeps its


spirit alive while also caring for our environment? Here are a
few suggestions.

1. Use Eco-friendly Decorations: Instead of using plastic


decorations, we can choose natural and biodegradable
materials, such as rangoli made from flowers, leaves, or
natural colors.

2. Light Up with Diyas: Traditional oil lamps, or diyas, not only


add to the beauty of the festival but also symbolize the
triumph of light over darkness. By choosing diyas over
electric lights, we reduce energy consumption and keep the
celebration authentic.

3. Celebrate with Friends and Family: Deepavali is a festival of


togetherness. Spending time with loved ones, sharing sweets,
and exchanging heartfelt wishes can be just as joyful as any
firework display.
4. Donate or Share Joy: An act of kindness, like donating
clothes, sweets, or necessities to those in need, spreads true
festive cheer and brings light into the lives of others.
Celebrating an eco-friendly Deepavali is not just about
avoiding crackers but about choosing a healthier, more
mindful approach to this beautiful festival. Let us take this
step towards a cleaner environment, a healthier future, and a
kinder world. May this Deepavali bring light, peace, and
happiness to all without leaving a dark footprint on our
environment. Thank you, and wishing everyone a joyous and
eco-friendly Deepavali!
