Eco-Friendly Diwali

A very Happy Diwali to all !!!! May this festival of lights bring joy, health and prosperity in your lives...

Think about it once,

Think about it twice,

Is it safe to burst your crackers tonight?

The condition of the environment is not right,

Choking lungs are a frequent sight.

It's the festival of lights,

Not of smoke and explosives,

By which animals fright.

Let's celebrate eco-friendly Diwali,

By eating sweets with friends and family.

Make merry,

And with the help of flowers,

Make beautiful rangoli.

Eat sweets and wear new clothes for delight,

Use diyas to brighten up the night.

The blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha would be here,

If you become eco-friendly and choose right,

To celebrate this festival of lights.
