Spring is here and it's time to celebrate Holi, a beloved festival in India and across the globe. Signalling the triumph of evil over good, thousands wait with bated breath for this vibrant celebration. But for a long now, many have battled with the adverse effects on our environment and developed ways to celebrate a sustainable and eco-friendly Holi. So by no means, is this article a novel or a unique one but we thought that a timely reminder will be the best way to kick off the 2023 Holi celebrations!
Synthetic colours are not only harmful to your skin but also have a detrimental impact on the environment. Instead of buying chemical-based colours, make your natural colours using turmeric, beetroot, henna, and other natural ingredients.
Water is scarce, and we should not waste it during festivals. Choose eco-friendly, waterless colours made from natural ingredients that do not require water for their application.
Get ready to make your Holi party a green affair! Ditch those balloons and plastic bags and opt for sustainable alternatives. Water balloons and plastic colours though fun to use are terribly harmful to the planet and extremely difficult to get rid of. Instead, you can go for reusable water bottles, cloth bags, and eco-friendly colours; you can also make your cloth bags using old clothes.
Instead of buying packaged sweets, make your homemade sweets using natural ingredients. You can use organic jaggery or honey as a sweetener.
Planting a tree is an excellent way to celebrate Holi and contribute to the environment. You can plant a tree in your backyard or a nearby park.
Instead of using artificial lighting, use natural lighting to light up your house. Open your windows and let in the sunlight during the day, and use candles or oil lamps at night.
Instead of using single-use, disposable cutleries, bring home reusable utensils made from natural materials like bamboo, wood, or leaves that can be used more than once. Biodegradable cutlery made from materials like cornstarch will eventually break down with no trace left behind. So use eco-friendly cutlery this Holi and take a major step towards reducing the environmental impact of your celebrations!
Food waste is a significant problem, and festivals often contribute to it. Plan your meals ahead of time and only prepare the amount of food that you need. You can also donate excess food to a local charity.
Ensure that you clean up the area after your Holi celebration. Dispose of the waste properly and recycle it wherever possible.
Get ready to light up your Holi celebration in a responsible and planet-friendly way! Say no to burning plastics and other harmful materials, and instead choose natural and biodegradable waste like dry leaves, twigs, and branches. This small step can have a significant impact on reducing pollution and promoting clean air, all while preserving the environment. Let's make our Holi bonfire a beacon of responsibility and a symbol of joy and happiness, while also protecting our planet.
Lastly, spread awareness about the importance of celebrating Holi sustainably and ethically. Encourage your friends and family to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to a better, greener planet. To access sustainable items for everyday use, take a look at Chalo Green Products.
