Enjoy Green Diwali by Staying Clean
>> Nov 4, 2018
Diwali is all about
lights, diya, flowers, crackers and a variety of innovative Diwali decorations.
Homes get decorated with pretty lights, beautiful rangoli and lamps. Today,
there are a number of ideas with which you can make decorations all the more
interesting and beautiful. Of course, there lies a certain pleasure in offering
your own home a touch of creativity.
A relative of mine
recently invested in apartment in South Kolkata
and is now in search of ideas with which his family can decorate the home. In
this context, I have suggested him to go with the green Diwali concept for his
new home this year. As we all know that Diwali is the festival of lights, so it
is obvious that there will be diyas, candles and other forms of fire-related
illumination in and around the house. Apart from this, the firing of crackers
plays a very important role in this festival of lights. Of course, the joy of
Diwali with family and friends comes with colourful lights and gifting sweets
mainly. Now, in order to enjoy a green
Diwali, one needs to maintain the go green factor.
Here are some of the tips
as follows:
Welcome Goddess Lakshmi with Clean House
Your first and most
important step to green Diwali is keeping our environment both in and around
clean. So, this is what I suggested my relative as well. With the Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan, people have not only started becoming aware but have taken initiatives
for the implementation too. Both during and after Diwali, the amount of waste
generated is huge and most importantly maximum of them are non-biodegradable,
thus, ending up in a landfill.
With our traditional
system, we all tend to choose the convenient options to enjoy the festivity,
thus forgetting the long-term impact we face. To be precise, taking up the
eco-friendly measures will always help us breathe. So, this Diwali, make sure
you emulate the traditional rule of sustainability in order to obtain the
concept of refurbishing and recycling.
Welcome goddesses Lakshmi
in a clean home where you have used eco-friendly ideas to decorate your house
this Diwali and of course, continue the same thing the rest of the year.
·
De-clutter
your rooms, especially the corners of your house so that you do not attract
negative vibes.
·
Use
earthenware diyas or lamps rather traditional clay pieces that do not leave
little or maybe no carbon footprint behind. Of course, for a brighter appeal, go for the
hand-painted ones or just paint the diyas on your own using ecological colours.
·
You can
even buy rice paper just to design paper lanterns. In this kind of works, you
can easily engage your family including your kids.
·
Get hold
of old or used bamboo sticks to cut them out for candle holders instead of
store bought candle holders.
These were the points
shared with my relative and hope the same was helpful to you as well. Wishing
you a Happy and Green Diwali!
