An eco-friendly Diwali is based on practices that have no detrimental effect on the environment.

Use of earthen diyas instead of candles reduces waste and minimizes the environmental impact.
We should celebrate with LED lights, which are energy-efficient and have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional lighting.

Avoid excessive outdoor lighting and use lights with timers to reduce unnecessary electricity consumption.
The use of fire-crackers should be avoided at any cost as they pollute the enviroment and reduce the air quality to dangerous levels that are unfit for human breathing.
Such crackers give rise to many disorders including Asthma and Bronchitis, which can prove fatal if left untreated.

Many types of cancers are also caused as a result of fire-crackers which necessitates the celebration of Eco-friendly Diwali.
Eco-friendly Diwali should also include the use of recyclable material that causes no extra burden on the environment.
Chemical based colouring agent should be avoided in preparing foods.

We should engage in tree-planting activities or contribute to environmental organizations as a way to give back during Diwali.
