The festival of Diwali is a time of joy, happiness and beautiful festive cheer. It’s a time when the nation lights up in celebration. You meet up with relatives, catch up with friends, exchange gifts, and enjoy an unending variety of sweets!

However, what do you think our environment feels like after Diwali?

Hmm… Wonder why that is?

On the day after Diwali, garbage across India goes up by an average of 30% and it takes days to clear.

While we enjoy the Diwali celebrations to the fullest, the aftermath of these extravagant events often goes unchecked.

This Diwali, let us celebrate the festival to the fullest but also be considerate of the environment. This year, let’s take the pledge to celebrate a #CleanDiwali.
