 <span style="font-weight: bold;">NEO Says</span><br />To really enjoy the Diwali festival everyone wants to fire the  crackers...the main reason is coz of the children who cry for the crackers...and  their fathers want to satisfy them by buying them crackers....due to this most  of the environment gets polluted n sound pollution too....<br /><br />But not only  fathers everyone can enjoy Diwali by just lighting up the candles in front of  their house....even u can enjoy it by arranging candles in the form of ur name  or something else....the fathers shld make their children unstand that this is  safe and eco-frndly.For this first we have to let our brain unstand that this  can decrease pollution to maximum extent...and can celebrate diwali as  ECO--frndly.<br /><br />===<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ikki Says:</span><br />The solution is very simple, but who bothers for it. NO CRACKERS. phoolarhis,  jaelebis etc of any kind should be neither produced not used. no pollution. but  who will bell the cat. I have stoppped using any sort of firecreackers almost 10  years back. Neither me, my wife or my daughters favour using firecrackers at  all. That is the only way to reduce pollution.<br /><br />{mospagebreak}<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ashish_us Says:</span><br /><br />3 things that make Diwali a nightmare for some people - Firecrackers and Fire accidents,<br />Gambling on the Diwali nights<br />Pollution and the aftermath of the diwali garbage<br /><br />If we can get rid of these 3 things - or atleast reduce them, nothing like it.<br /><br />Here is what i think can help in achieving this.<br /><br />Forget Crackers and Fire - Rekindle the spirit of Diwali, the spirit of love and brotherhood - the spirit of Good winning over the evil. If we can just be with friends, meet relatives, have a good time - be it playing cricket, watching a movie or just doing something good for someone.. do it, instead of wasting your precious time away with the crackers, try to make someone laugh: crack a joke!<br /><br />Even if you cant resist the crackers, use less, non-toxic and safe crackers. Also, play them safe withouth hurting the people on the road of creating a havoc for the traffic.<br /><br />Gambling: We all know the history. The Ram was related to Diwali. Then why the heck do we bring in Yudhistir and Shakuni on this occassion? <br />Gambling has never been good for anyone - except the winner, who has a turn to be a loser sometime.<br />Gamble on Good. Instead of money, gamble on what you can do for the poor. If you loose, you feed 5 hungry people today. If you win, you get to feed as many as you want. Lets not gamble our way to happiness.<br /><br />Pollutions is one of the worst aftereffect of Diwali, and the garbage on the roads that needs cleaning the other day.&nbsp; Instead of that lets do something better..let us try to clean our neighbourhood. <br />Lets make diwali cleaning not an individual, but a social task. Why just clean your garage or paint your home? Why not give a makeover to the empty plot across the street and get rid of mosquitoes. <br />This will not only help us control global warming, but also help some hearwarming around the neighbouhood.<br /><br />I know some of these thoughts are too much to act on let alon ponder. But think about it. Its not that tough afterall.<br /><br />{mospagebreak}<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Snapple Says</span><br />There are other ways we can have fun though:<br /><br />-Go to the mandir with all  the friends and family<br />-Couple of friends and family over for the day  (lunch,snack,dinner, dessert)<br />-Shopping with friends<br />-Going to an Indian  restaurant with the family and friends is also a good fun way to celebrate  Diwali<br />-Cooking traditional Indian food and sweets for the family<br /><br />Hope  I helped and Happy Diwali!<br />===<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">a_agrawal says<br /></span>What everyone can do is focus more on lighting candles, and diyas, only a few  firecrackers... (some r necessary for the spirit of diwali) - and they should  preferably with lower Noise levels...<br /><br />And one good thing for the  environment... Plant a tree, or a small plant.... Something that actually helps  our environment...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you think??? {mos_fb_discuss:Indore 360}</span><br />
