This Diwali Burst Happiness (Not Crackers)

THIS DIWALI BURST HAPPINESS 
(NOT CRACKERS)

Today the simple crackers have given way to elaborate fireworks that can light up the entire sky above our homes...
But unfortunately the fumes that these crackers produce are harmful to the environment and even to us.
The bursting of crackers during Diwali is primarily responsible for an increase in concentration of dust and pollutants. The fine dust that settles after bursting crackers is rich in pollutants like oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, metal dust and organic pollutants.
Even the tiny sparklers, torches and flower pots which are otherwise considered to create no noise at all generate thick smoke that can affect the respiratory tract of young children.
The suspended particulate matter (SPM) levels rise significantly during Diwali. This causes throat, nose and eye related problems which can later develop into adverse health issues.

Firecrackers have much more severe effects in people with heart, respiratory or nervous system disorders.
They can also cause water contamination and acid rains.
They result in air pollution that creates carcinogenic Sulphur compounds and airborne arsenic effect.
The green light produced in fireworks displays comes from barium, which is radioactive and poisonous. The blue colour produced from copper compounds comes from dioxins linked to cancer.


FIRECRACKERS AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Fire Hazards: Sometimes rockets set fire to huts, heaps of dry grass and even houses.

Noise Pollution: Firecrackers make more noise than the allowed decibel limit.

Air Pollution: Smog caused by firecrackers is harmful when inhaled. It also causes reduced visibility.The Central Pollution Control Board of India has also banned firecrackers with a decibel level of more than 125 at a distance of 4mts from the bursting point.
 

Poor air quality can have big impact on health as the COVID virus affects the functioning of lungs, experts widely believe that poor air quality puts those with comorbidities at a risk
It's my utmost request !
Please think of those who have tested positive for Corona Virus, they could face complications due to air pollution 

Did You Know:
Most fireworks are made by factories that employ children as labourers. These young children are forced to handle the toxic substances that go into these firecrackers. As a result, they contract diseases associated with these substances. Limited access to medical aid means that many of them die in their teens.

Remember Diwali is a festival of lights not crackers...
Just for those three to four hours of excitement we humans create so much havoc that is beyond repair and causes so much harm.
Irrespective of the motive behind those who raise the alarm regarding environment pollution during Diwali, we all accept the fact that Diwali is indeed accompanied by increased levels of air and noise pollution every year
Environmental concerns are equally important whether it is the Diwali or not.
My concern is just to urge the people to return to the the core tenets of Diwali by making them understand that crackers are not essential to the festival

I am surprised to see peolpe enjoying the blame game. 
This awareness is applicable for all festivals and all countries, it's a global message. 
We can start being the change first in our home and set an example globally. 
Let's be more civilized and respectful.

Be the change!
Don’t wait for the change!

Don’t think what can I do alone!
Every single drop makes a mighty ocean!

Feel what others suffer. Say no to Crackers this Diwali.

Not only diwali, firecrackers should be banned on election result days, on weddings, birthdays & all other occasions..
It affects our environment, the innocent animals, our children, our elders and most importantly us !

Want to spread light? 
Spread it by donating to the needy!
Diwali is a festival of giving love and spreading joy.

Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

Image
A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too… For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected. On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily... But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees. The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment. Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitt...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September???

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September??? Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September as birthday of the plagiarize man In a country where teacher is worshipped, if he steals his students thesis and publishes it by his own name what are we supposed to call him??? Teacher deserves to be a respected person… Not a plagiarize person… In the January 1929 issue of the Modern Review, Jadunath Sinha made a sensational claim regarding Dr. Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli None other than Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli had plagiarized from him his Indian Philosophy Volume II. He had lifted several passages from Sinha’s thesis. The battle spilled over into the February, March and April issues of the magazine too as Sinha cited several more passages to bolster his claim. Radhakrishnan hit back with letters in the February and March issues. In August 1929, Sinha sued Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan counter-sued both Sinha and Ramnath Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review...
