One of the biggest festival of year in India, no matter which religion, state, gender you belong to, there is no single person who refuse to celebrate this festival. Yes, we are talking about "Diwali". The festival of pride, colours, and crackers. We all burst crackers every diwali it gives us joy and happiness for few hours, people who talks whole year for green and clean India even they don't cares a single time while playing with crackers. The big question arrives there is- Why do we burst crackers? What positive effects does it have? What does we get by burning crackers? Here we are discussing some important points where we came to know for a moment of happiness we are effecting the environment in a huge amount. For bursting crackers we don't even cares for a patient in our neighborhood. Let us discuss some major points which will surely force to avoid crackers this diwali.
1.POLLUTION The second name of crackers is pollution. Noise, Air, Water, crackers causes pollution in all forms. A Cracker sounds upto 170 decibels which is twice the rate which it should be of. While the smoke from crackers causes many problems like skin irritation, eye problems and other lung diseases. Imagine on a random day if you are suffering from any disease and all your family members start shouting and make noises in a loud sound. How would you feel? Worst right!! Now apply the same on all the patients on the day of diwali.
2. HARMFUL EFFECTS Crackers have many harmful effects rather than pollution. Take any news paper, media channel or else next day of diwali, there will be many headlines stating how many people gets effected by crackers, some got their hands burnt, some got seriously injured or some suffered from really bad diseases. Crackers also causes serious problems like loss of hearing, high blood pressure, lung diseases or even causes heart attacks.
3. EFECTS ON ANIMALS No doubt animals have much sharp hearing ability than humans, but loud noises of crackers are also not suitable for animals. Some kids plays with dogs like hanging crackers on their tales and make them run. In reality, they are not running to make you happy, they runs to save their lifes. The smoke from crackers directly effects to animals skin and lungs. Its adviced to play with crackers far away from animals whether its your street animals, farms or pets of your own house.
4. LACK OF SLEEP Government has ban crackers from 10pm to 6am for the right of every human to get a proper sleep, so that people who are not interested in such festivals may get their sleep. But the deaf ears of some people won't effect a bit. In many parts of the country people continues bursting crackers till mid night. May be its an enjoyment for them but they don't cares a single time for their own fun many people around their neighborhood are not able to sleep and waiting for their fun to be end.
5. DAMAGES TO PROPERTY Crackers effects our property in two different ways i.e directly and indirectly. Directly, in case if any cracker comes in contact with your vehicle or home, the result will only comes in the name of blast or burn. And Indirectly, we spend thousands of rupees on crackers, some people wants to show their standard, some buys expensive crackers to make their children happy. Brings cracker to home, set them on fire, enjoys their noise and sparkle and rest your money is just melt in the air.
