Diwali (Deepavali) is one of the most popular festivals in India. It is considered as the festival of lights and symbolizes good over evil.
But the real question is whether burning crackers is a part of good over evil?
Well, here is the answer to this question, A HUGE NO!
Why is that so? Why is burning crackers considered an evil/bad act?To support the answer, some of the reasons as follows:-
1. burning crackers causes the release of carbon dioxide and results in air pollution.
2. It affects the animals too! They get injured when they are near the lit crackers.
3. Senior citizens and children have the high chance to get affected by air pollution.
4. It also creates noise pollution. And sometimes, can lead to deafness too.
So this diwali, take these pledges and abide by it-
^A PLEDGE TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT (INCLUDING ANIMALS).
^A PLEDGE TO SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT GREEN DIWALI.
^A PLEDGE NOT TO HARM THE SURROUNDINGS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MY ENTERTAINMENT.
^ A PLEDGE NOT TO BURST CRACKERS.
Last but not the least, spread awareness about eco-friendly diwali in your social circle, colleagues, classmates and family! And ask them to sign this petition to be a part of the change which would lead to a better environment!

The feedback regarding our call for an eco-friendly festival has been enlightening. Many of you have contacted me to share personal experiences about the negative impact of noise and air pollution on your families. We are working to compile these stories to better illustrate the necessity of this shift.

The momentum behind this plea for an environmentally conscious festival demonstrates a collective commitment to change. We have reached a significant threshold that highlights our shared responsibility toward the health of our community and the safety of our animals.

India's air quality keeps deteriorating every day. It's becoming hard for us to breathe and things are gonna get worse if people burst crackers. Either don't burst crackers or use eco friendly ones.
No crackers no pollution just have a safe happy diwali without killing the vulnerable birds and other animals for God's sake
It's a step by step process. You guys are late for the ceremony

I've been celebrating eco friendly Diwali from past few years and I promise to continue to do the same. And instead of burning crackers, why don't you try feeding sweets to the stray animals and play with them this time! It's ten times more fun, I promise!♥️✨
