Say no to plastics
We all know that plastics are no good by any means. Especially the polythene bags that we use regularly. One knows the amount of these bags consumed during Holi festival to throw water.
You can always avoid these hazardous non-degradable bags for a long-term gain i.e for a clean environment. After all, who wants to live in an environment that is not fit for healthy living and survival.
Go all natural
Enjoy Holi with all things natural. Rather than going for chemical colours, opt for organic colours while playing Holi. This way, you can be assured about enjoying this festival with everyone from sensitive small kids to elderly. This is also a great way of celebrating this festival with people who are allergic to chemicals.
Make it unique with flowers
There are many places in India where people use flowers rather than colours for Holi celebration Ideas. We all can follow suit and make our Holi celebrations unique and satisfying. Also flowers are quite charming and their presence enlivens the feel of every occasion.
Lesser the water, the better it gets
Many regions on earth will be deprived of water soon in the near future. So let’s understand the urgency of the situation and use this fast depleting natural resource most optimally.
No oil paints and chemicals, please
Oil paints and chemicals do no good. They not only spoil skin but also cause an allergic reaction and various discomfort if swallowed or get into the eye. Do kindly avoid them if you wish to play happy and safe Holi.
Don’t burn what’s harmful
Torching a bonfire is an important ritual practiced an evening before Holi. People add various items like coconut, colours, incense sticks and various pooja items. Some irresponsible folks don’t mind adding perilous items like tyres and plastics. Stop such people from doing this, and you will be doing a great favour to yourself and the environment.
Act responsibly during and after Holi
After you have enjoyed the day and got enough rest, please take your time to clean up the mess you have created. Be responsible for your actions and do not leave it only on cleaners or your family members. As it is rightly said “All’s well that ends well,” so make your after celebrations happy and memorable too.
Take care of children, women and elderly
Holi is a festival that includes maximum activity. People are allowed to let it loose on this day. Nevertheless, one should always keep in mind the security and happiness of children, women and elderly. One always hears some or other unfortunate incidents on Holi. So make this Holi a pleasing affair by acting responsible and taking responsibility for others in the vicinity.
Be English when eating on Holi
Celebrating Holi with delicious sweets is one important aspect of Holi. People are tempted to try gujiyas, namkeens, thandai and other Indian delicacies on this festival.
