Even strict and stringent warnings are also given to the public to refrain from bursting crackers such as atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, bullet bombs, thousand and ten thousand walls. The government, police, pollution control boards are suggesting many alternative ways to celebrate festivals that do not pollute the environment. The decibel levels alarmingly high in metros, and it may reach up to 100 dB. Noise pollution on Diwali is between 69.7 dB and 88.3 dB, which are higher than the prescribed limit of 50 dB. Newborns and aged people have a nightmarish experience because of the high levels of sound caused by crackers during Diwali. In Orissa alone, 5,000 Durga pooja idols are made, most of them using harmful paints.ĭiwali, one of the famous festivals in India, has the distinction of polluting the environment to the core. The immersion of Durga Statutes during the Durga pooja is also a cause of concern for environmentalists. The practice of immersion of Ganesh idols after the Ganesh festival in various cities is causing severe water pollution, which leads to the death of tonnes of fish and many aquatic creatures.
However, knowing that the environment should be clean, healthy, and non-polluted, the large-scale celebration of various festivals has degraded the quality of the situation. The healthier the environment, the happier the living beings, including humans. Thus, there must be a healthy environment for our sound living. No creature’s existence is possible without the balance of the natural elements. It is the environment that helps us in our survival, growth, development, reproduction, and health. They are an essential factor in the background.
Human beings are the product of the environment. The surroundings may be living factors like plants, animals, and decomposers and non-living things like air, water, light, soil, etc. Therefore it is the surroundings that affect the behavior and development of a living being or a thing. The environment is the natural world which is made by living beings (people, animals, and plants) and land.
