8 Ways to Celebrate an Eco-Friendly Holi
Use natural colors:
Use natural colors made from flowers, fruits, and vegetables instead of synthetic colors. You can make natural colors at home using ingredients like turmeric, henna, beetroot, and spinach.
Avoid water wastage:
Instead of using a lot of water to play Holi, use dry colors and play Holi in a dry area. If you want to use water, use a limited amount and do not waste it.
Use biodegradable products:
Use plates, cups, and other utensils made of biodegradable materials like paper, bamboo, or leaves. Avoid using plastic products as they are harmful to the environment.
Donate unused colors:
If you have unused colors after Holi, donate them to organizations that recycle or dispose of them safely.
Avoid loud music:
Loud music can cause noise pollution, so avoid playing loud music during Holi.
Choose eco-friendly clothing:
Wear clothes made of natural fibers like cotton, linen, or silk instead of synthetic fabrics. Synthetic fabrics can cause skin irritation and are not eco-friendly.
Use natural fragrance:
Use natural fragrance like rose petals, sandalwood, or jasmine instead of chemical-based perfumes or deodorants.
Clean up after Holi:
Clean up the area after playing Holi and dispose of any waste properly. Do not litter or throw colors on the streets.
Playing Holi in an eco-friendly way can help protect the environment and make the festival more enjoyable for everyone.
