Diwali is one of the biggest festivals celebrated in India. People celebrate it with a lot of lights and crackers. We eagerly wait for Diwali as it brings good luck to all. But along with good luck, it also brings pollution and health issues. 
Every year, on the next day after Diwali, the news headlines are full of ill-effects of Diwali. But still, we all eagerly wait for Diwali to come. We wait to burn firecrackers, as the light and sound of crackers entertain us. The toxic substances present in the crackers add toxic gasses to the environment. This causes air pollution that is harmful to everyone, including birds and animals. This is one of the important reasons why people fall sick quite often after Diwali. So why don't we say no to firecrackers? We can replace them with colorful balloons or sky lanterns. They look very pretty in the sky and are pollution-free. 
Candles are petroleum-based and release toxins during burning. This affects the air quality as well. They are for one-time use only. Try to use earthenware Diyas for lighting and decorating your place. This way, you can save your environment and help poor artisan families, as these products are produced locally and not imported. Also, these diyas are reusable. 
We all get gifts every Diwali. In every box, either you get sweets or some showpiece. Why don't you replace them with an environment-friendly gift? You can gift some indoor plants to your loved ones. This will keep the environment healthy and make your friends happy. 
Diwali is incomplete without foods and sweets. Unfortunately, at this time, we tend to use plastic disposals which are very damaging to the environment. To solve this problem, we suggest you opt for biodegradable crockery. It looks elegant and saves your efforts to clean, post celebrations. 
We buy different types of decorative products for our homes. Instead of using readymade torans of plastic, opt for something natural and creative. In case you don't have time to make decorations, you can look for the NGOs which sell handmade eco-friendly decorative products. This way, you can contribute towards making their Diwali brighter. 
Diwali is the time when we shop the most. Along with the things you buy, you can also carry bags. We all know how harmful plastic is for us and our environment. So whenever you go out for shopping, carry a jute bag with you. Also, read about The Harmful Effects Of Plastic On Human Health
