H.no 228 S/5 B.B.M.B Colony Sunder Nagar (H.P) 10.Nov.2012 Dear Yukta, Wish u a very warm and happy DiwaliDiwali is here and it is time for family get-togethers and parties. The house is cleaned and decorated with lights, the Ganesh-Lakshmi idols are bought, and tons of sweets are prepared. These are all different facets of Diwali. However, have we ever stopped to think how detrimental all this indulgence is to our environment? With the changing time, the style of celebrating Diwali has also changed drastically. Now Diwali celebrations mean electric illumination and bursting noisy fire crackers. This change in the celebration style has imposed many negative effects on the environment. Besides these environmental effects the modern style of celebrating Diwali also leads to various health hazards. Also, the noise of bombs is quiet deafening. It is not possible to have Diwali without crackers. But, we can try and reduce the amount, and do our bit for our environment. So how about bringing in a positive change this time, which will help people around as well? You must do that. You can celebrate it by:- Light Diyas, by Organic Gifts,bursting Eco-friendly Crackers,Eco-friendly Decorations..... I think thats a brilliant idea.... I wish u were here with me,we would have been lighten up our Diwali automattically! so,please take care and celebrate your Diwali carefully.
Love, Yours Jasleen.
