This year amazingly happened to find time in my records to take initiatives and work on my social media campaign for preventing the over use of crackers:
Eco-anti-cracker Campaign
GREEN DIWALI CONCEPTS!!!
Day 1:
Use low noise producing crackers than exploding crackers – Join the cause “Low Toxic Dumping into the Environment”
Toxic gun powders are used in exploding crackers in which the combustible gas is released under pressure exploding the cardboard shell of these crackers with a loud popping noise.
Low noise producing crackers are those that display colourful fireworks which are as a result of mixing smaller amounts of gun powder with salts that gives colourful flames.
There is much more science to production of fireworks – but “gun powder” has been the killer to the labourers as well, besides toxic to the environment.
Let’s think twice before we decide what crackers to buy this season!!! HAPPY DIWALI FOLKS!!!
Day 2:
Family reunions - new clothes, sharing cherishing moments, following family rituals, sharing sweets and hot, spicy snacks and good menu on the platter from breakfast to dinner.
Diwali is once in a day in a year when you get an opportunity for family gathering and spend time together. These are the days as a nuclear family we hardly get time to spend with each other with ever raising demand of consumerism and economy to maintain our living standards. May be this Diwali you can try PLANNING YOUR DAY to spend time in or out with your family, more time with God and family, enjoy all the three meals of your day in peace (make it as long as possible) and what’s more than sharing your sweets and snacks with your kins, friends and neighbours – also enjoy sharing your cherishing moments in life (maybe as a parent you can introspect on your childhood days of Diwali) with your family…leave the taboo of gluing to Television if not CRACKERS habit on Diwali!!!
HAVE A LIVELY DIWALI Day!!!
Day 3:
Festival of lights and fireworks - Share and Care
Diwali is popularly called the “Festival of Lights” though for Tamil Nadu, “Karthigai Deepam” is the one during which people light clay oil lamps. However, many people I have known used to decorate their house with oil lamps as well on Diwali. So take some more of your time in the evening to arrange and décor your home or temple with these lamps. Thus, you will find something more fulfilling done on the day other than simply bursting crackers. Bursting crackers – if a status issue and pacifying your ego – don’t worry, share the crackers you have brought with “have not’s” and you will find something done more fulfilling and still you have spent more money on crackers than others. “HAVE A CARING AND SHARING DIWALI SEASON THIS YEAR!”
Day 4:
Lasting or Low in Toxic & Less-Smoke Fireworks?
Well again coming back to the pavilion of your cracker purchase – think twice! You have two options lying in front of you –
Option 1 : Exploding crackers not only produce more noise but most of you burst them in the morning for thrill and fun of who is waking up whom – ultimately you keep bursting those crackers for an hour or two continuously until religious rituals commences;
Option 2 : In contrast, this is a common habit to burst those noiseless cracker that produce smoke which wades away in a few minutes and do not smog by evening; and you have the option of keeping all the pests and mosquitoes off for one single evening and such an enjoyable moment to see bright and vivid colours. “HAVE A VIVID AND VIBRANT COLOURFUL DIWALI!!
Day 5:
What's more Joyful – Exploding or Fun Together?
Well, boys and girls – do your youth and adventure spirit rush into your blood and trigger your desire to burst exploding crackers – well guys and gals think twice??? Do you have pets? Do you have old people and children at home? Is anyone sick at home? Are they there at your neighbourhood? Then why do for just one day thrill and adventure you want to hurt someone? Of course, I am not asking not to burst exploding crackers – your fun is as well important; but check on the decibel limit where you burst and it’s a “BIG NO” to bombs legally at any place.
Try this! Reduce the amount of exploding crackers that you burst and have more fun bursting colourful firework displays which everyone at home and neighbourhood will enjoy – and that’s time spent well for the day. What’s more fun? What’s more fulfilling - your joy or having fun together? HAVE A FUN FILLED DIWALI WITH YOUR FRIENDS, KINS AND FAMILY!
So these concepts are the mark of the year to come!!!!
