‘Clean and Green Diwali’
Oct 16th, 2009 by Harneet Singh
The world in which we live today is constantly degenerating. We sometimes behave as if there is no tomorrow. We exhaust our energies and resources on fruitless pursuits or for simply mental satisfaction. There is no end to this. Ultimately we are the ones who are to suffer.
We are generating self destructive forces that are cutting the very roots of our civilisation instead of nourishing them.
Environmentalists from all over the world have raised an alarm over the increase in the Earth’s temperature. But we are simply not bothered. People will spend millions of rupees on firecrackers this Diwali, inspite of knowing the negative effects it will have on the birds and animals and also on the general atmosphere.
Instead of wasting money on fire crackers we should spend the same amount of money in helping the needy people. There might a million people who are going to sleep on the Diwali Night, empty stomach.for them Diwali or no Diwali there is no difference. Who is going to think about them? We are so engrossed with our self-created world that we refuse to acknowledge our responsibility as a human being. Wake up this Diwali from the Slumber and celebrate it –Clean and Green.
1. Do not waste money on bursting fire crackers. For us it is simply burning away the money but for some that money might become the lifeline.
2. Plant more saplings
3. Use less number of lights as we are suffering from acute shortage of electricity. We only have to pay for the extra usage at Diwali by long cuts afterwards.
4. Try helping the poor. “Helping hands are holier than praying lips”.
WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS DIWALI
