Diwali - the Festival of Lights

Diwali is a festival of prayers to Lakshmiji and Ganeshji, sweet and celebration of festivity with diyas and candles. One more thing that is a synonym with Diwali is crackers.

The festivity with crackers during the global warming damages our environment and increases the pollution in a single night manifold. In addition to the pollution of air, sound and the environment damages us for long term.

The pollution from crackers is something that effects the environment but affects the individuals to quite an extent. Ask those who suffer from heart ailments or the people suffering from asthma. The noise pollution affects almost everyone. The harmful gases & the loud noise that the crackers emanate not only affect human beings but adversely affects also the animals and birds.
