ting Festivals In Eco-Friendly Way  All life forms adapt ACCORDING to the existential challengesand difficulties, MAN included. Man has made his life so complex that heappears to have been lost in the labyrinths he unwittingly or wittingly wovenaround himself. One such labyrinth is the labyrinth of environmentaldegradation. It had never been so critical in the entire history of mankind asit is now.  Man’s thoughtless andshort-sighted approach to life mingled with greed and avarice have BROUGHT theentire life on the brink of annihilation.  He must change his life-style, traditions, customs,festivals, and general ways of living in such a manner as don’t interfere withthe balance of environment any longer. If he doesn’t, life will cease to exist.Keeping the critical state of environment in mind, Diwali celebrations willhave to undergo a drastic change. Till present time, Diwali is synonymous withpollution creating practices, such as bursting crackers by millions of people,candles, ETC, send tons of toxic smoke into the already polluted environment,which further DEGRADES it. In the 21st century Diwali, people willonly use electric lights to light their houses. For crackers, somenon-polluting alternatives will have to be replaced. Crackers that don’t causeany pollution need to be invented. Crackers that go up emit light without anysmoke. Crackers made of laser light can be a good replacement for thetraditional bangers.
