1. No Way With Plastic Lights!

Diwali marks the season of light, and it wouldn't be as lovely without small bursts of light strewn around the home. But, you should opt for the old-fashioned earthen oil diyas instead of the energy-consuming electric lights. They are not just stunning however, they are also completely natural and traditional. You can clean the diya and use it again for a long time. In the future, you can ask the kids in your neighborhood to decorate them with designs. Buying your diyas from the disadvantaged vendors at the side of the road will help them enjoy the festival in a more meaningful way.

2. Rangoli...Go Traditional

Diwali would not be complete without alpacas and the rangolis. Get rid of the oil paint and synthetic colors. Utilize the discarded flowers by florists and make up mind-blowing designs each day. They'll provide a great deal of color, and texture and make yours the only home that has scented decorations. You can also make use of kitchen ingredients such as tea or turmeric to create sections of your design.

3. Ditch Fire Crackers

While there are organic crackers on the market, they release harmful pollutants into the air. Avoid the loud blasts regardless of where you go. Animals and babies begin to shiver and howl whenever there is a blast that sounds loud. A lot of stray dogs and cats around are hit by vehicles every Diwali or burns are the result of crackers. Sometimes, even pets suffer from anxiety as a result of this.

4. Upcycle Last Year's Supplies

If you're still not doing this, now is the perfect time to begin. It's not logical to purchase new items for Diwali every year. Recycle candle holders, light bulbs diyas, agarbati stands, and diyas. Make old sarees sewn together to make a quilt, or turn your dupattas into pillowcases. You could be the prettiest home in the neighborhood.

5. Great Gift Ideas

The gift of gifts is synonymous with Diwali But you should avoid the traditional candles and interesting items. Make a change by choosing natural gift options. Chamomile or green tea paired with a ceramic mug. Plants are great gifts and can add some jovial vibes to the space. If you're someone who is obsessed with interior decor, handicrafts can be unique gifts that aid local craftspeople. It is also possible to donate old clothing as well as shoes or donate devices you've never been using to those who require them. Be sure to donate items that are in a good, resalable condition.

6. Wrap Responsibly

Beware of those glittery, shiny wrapping paper that can be used just once. Get plain paper, and a few non-toxic paint, and let your creativity. Old newspapers are also the perfect base for a painting project and give a unique personal design to your gift. If it's too boring it is possible to employ old stoles to wrap presents. Do something different and stand out from the crowd.

7. Sweets Can Be Healthy

We typically go overboard on the mithai boxes that we give out on Diwali. However, what if we change the look a bit? You can ditch the usual mithai alternatives for something healthier. Dairy-free alternatives are great for those who are lactose intolerant or those who are committed vegans. Use sugar-free sweets made from date syrup. Make sure you choose confectionery made of soya and coconut flour. Your customers will appreciate you for not putting more weight on top of their stomachs!

8. Save Water

If you're hosting guests to celebrate a big Diwali celebration, make sure you make sure you are conserving water. Select biodegradable and sustainable utensils alternatives to thermocouple or plastic alternatives. You can also enjoy the event without worrying about losing an item from your set. Banana leaves and even edible cutlery can be fun and you can be unique.

9. Take Attention To Your Surrounding

It's a genuine celebration if it's joyful for all. Set up a zone where your pets and dogs feel secure. Feed them so that they don't suffer burns while searching for food. Assist a stray who is scared or provide shelter in your corridor for a scared cat.

10. We Are Family

It could be a challenge to master, but it's worth trying. Make sure you strengthen your bonds and create bonds by bringing your family and friends in one place instead of having several Diwali celebrations in the city. This will help to reduce the pollution and trash in a specific region and is an efficient method of celebrating. Also, it is a good opportunity to meet up with old acquaintances and meet new ones.
