10 Key Things about Eco-Friendly Diwali:

2. It is believed that the gases emitted during Diwali contribute nearly 30% to air pollution. All hail the Greener and Cleaner Earth Initiative!

7. Diwali is supposed to embark the victory of good over evil. But we deplete our own natural resources, Isn’t that Evil?
8. Noisy and imprudent firecrackers have always posed a serious threat to children and pregnant women. Do you want your child to be part of such reckless environment?
