Every year the smog of Diwali firecrackers causes breathing problems.
The accumulated smog also increases our troubles. So why not celebrate Diwali without crackers this time. If you have to run, choose eco-friendly options like sparklers. Qandeel can also celebrate Diwali beautifully by choosing options like sky lanterns. Show wisdom in gifts tooExchange of gifts is inevitable during festivals.
But, the unwanted waste that comes with it i.e. the packaging wrapped to make it attractive becomes a big problem for our nature.
To prevent this problem from increasing further, you can use cloth or jute bags to give gifts. Gifts can also be kept environment friendly.
