The current scenario of the world is that due to excessive & over-exploited use of resources we are in a situation of worst pollution conditions. We are facing problems due to pollution in every field be it Air, Water, Noise or any other. All this is having already affecting the environment adversely.
Some of the festivals nowadays have become special days/events of adding to the already deteriorating condition of the environment. Like Diwali celebration adds up to air and noise pollution enormously. Similarly, the 'Visarjan' festivals add up to water pollution greatly. Moreover, by killing innocent animals on the name of sacrifice be it in any religion, we are affecting the ecological balance by disturbing the Biodiversity. There are many other instances as well.
Therefore, we should first analyse the bad effects of our 'actions' in celebrating the festivals so that we may avoid unnecessary and hazardous practices that adversely affect the environment. The festivals can be celebrated in other (alternate) ways as well.
We should carefully chose our actions so that we may be able to provide a 'livable' planet 'Earth' to our future generations.

Festival :- it is a important day for children.The children calculate each and every day;some use reverse counting.It brings happiness in family,society,etc.But it is blamed for environment bad health.Taking examples of Indian festival:-Holi and Diwali.Diwali is being blamed for air pollution by people who care about environment.Similarly Holi blamed for water pollution.It is we for our enjoyment have put all blames on festival.We changed the traditional way of celebrating festival.Looking back into history Diwali was never celebrated by burning crackers and Holi was never celebrated by wasting a lot of water.Traditional way was simple.People at that time was concerned about environment and they made the environment sick.So if we have to improve the environment health we should start following traditional way of celebrating festival and todays environment bad health will recover soon and this implies on festival.
