Unlike the other posts,without any clamouring, I would like to begin this post.

I have a gut feeling that, we(Indians) are abandoning our festivals. Aren’t we? I seriously feel, YES! Examples make things interesting and clear.

Diwali, festival of lights. Instead of bragging about the importance. We often, at least majority of them end up campaign how to avoid the festival. So called environmentalists who are very interested to clean up earth by abandoning the festival are the most noticeable people. SAY NO TO DIWALI. PLEASE DO NOT BURST CRACKERS. I do agree, that the sound ..and air from the crackers are harmful to atmosphere. Is this a solid reason to avoid the festivals?

Ganesh Chaturthi: Again the environmentalists hit the roads. Please use MUD IDOLS. PLEASE DO NOT DUMP THE IDOLS IN RIVERS. This sounds valid.

HOLI: Play HOLI WITHGREEN colors? I feel that it would be better to provide people green colors rather than carrying a poster. Which comes to no ones notice anyway.

Campaigning about why to avoid a festival is ineffective and creates a negative impression. Instead, if we take the pain to campaign about the alternate and environmental friendly ways of celebrating a festival,we can end up preserving the tradition as well as the FUN! So, Say STOP to the STOP festivals campaign and START alternate ways campaign!

India needs green festivals. In other words, Indian festivals must turn green.I’m for it! ARE YOU?

Did i miss out any, global warming Indian festival?
