Have a cracking celebration
The festival season is well on its way, and what better time to burst crackers, right?
Wrong. There’s everything wrong with firecrackers. Why? Primarily, it causes extensive air pollution and fills the air with metal particles, dangerous toxins, harmful chemicals and smoke. Some of the toxins never fully decompose or disintegrate, poisoning everything they come in contact with.
So, how can we celebrate Deepavali without crackers, you ask? Here’s the solution. Green crackers. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has developed crackers that are kind to the environment and to you.
In today’s climate, where health is a primary concern for all, it is best to say no to firecrackers or burning waste, especially dry leaves. Carbon particles from the fumes, and chemical vapours from firecrackers can aggravate pre-existing allergic conditions.
