Deepavali (also spelled Divali in few countries) or Diwali, popularly known as the festival of lights, is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism,
occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is
the most important festival of the year and is celebrated in families by
performing traditional activities together in their homes. Deepavali is
an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore, and Fiji.
Most Indian business communities begin
the financial year on the first day of Diwali.And many more postive points on that day.
But Now a days as i think its only a source of pollution and nothing else.and in future it can be a major factor regarding global warming. because all countries are celebrating and giving a very large Amount of Pollution Factor.And many more problems can be found like air pollution, Light pollution, Sound pollution, Allergic diseases,and many more.
Now a Days Deepawali also creates a lack of electricity or wastage of electric sources.
And
Mostly People are not thinking about it. And those people that are
caring about nature and global warming are also suffering from allergic
reactions and all noise problems.
People
must have to know about global warming issues.and the government must
need to do something about it. government must make some rules on it to
control air pollution.government must think about those people that are
suffering from air pollution and allergic reactions.
So we have to think about it really.we have to staup up in unity to make some real changes.
Diwali
is the one festival in India which is celebrated by all irrespective of
caste, creed and religion. Diwali is celebrated to acknowledge the
victory of good over evil. And the lighting of earthen lamps or diyas on
a moonless night signifies a new beginning of enlightenment and the end
of darkness of ignorance.
Earlier Diwali celebration meant house
cleaning and decoration, performing traditional Lakshmi pooja,
lightening of diyas in the evening and family get-together. But with the
changing time the style of celebrating Diwali has also changed
drastically. Now Diwali celebrations mean electric illumination and
bursting noisy fire crackers. This change in the celebration style has
imposed many negative effects on the environment; some of the effects
are listed below:-
Excessive air pollution Excessive noise pollution Excessive power consumption Hearing loss High blood pressure Sleeping disturbances Asthma Headache Irritability Skin allergies Fatigue Eye related problems Respiratory problems

crisis, and we are indirectly polluting the mother earth.
•Explode few crackers for the significance of Diwali.
•Explode less noise crackers as this will help aged and others and you will also help in avoiding noise pollution.
Diwali
celebrations are associated with pollution rather than their
traditional significance. Here is how to bring back the true spirit of
Diwali
Diwali is known as the 'festival of lights'. Diyas
(clay lamps) are lit to chase away the darkness of ignorance and
welcome the bright light of enlightenment. However, in our zest to
celebrate this festival, there is a tendency to go overboard.
Carelessness during Diwali celebrations can have a detrimental effect on
the environment and endanger your own safety. Here are some of the
major offenders in these celebrations.
Crackers Firecrackers are traditionally perceived as being the highlight of
Diwali celebrations. Simple sparklers have now given way to elaborate
fireworks that can light up the entire sky above your home. Most people
believe that greater the fireworks, better the celebrations. However,
very few people stop to think just how harmful these crackers are for
the environment.
To begin with, all available crackers contain a
large amount of toxic substances. These affect people in different
ways as follows;
Copper: Causes irritation in the respiratory tract, which leads to respiratory ailments.
Cadmium: Reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of blood, leading to anaemia. It also causes kidney damage.
Lead: Lead in the body has a harmful effect on the nervous system.
Magnesium: Magnesium fumes cause a condition known as metal fume fever. This is a fever accompanied by a metallic taste in the mouth.
Zinc: Also causes metal fume fever. In addition, it also induces vomiting.
Sodium: Sodium is a highly reactive element. It combines with moisture in the air and on the skin, causing burns.
These toxic substances are not just harmful to human beings, but to all
living creatures. They tend to remain in the atmosphere for extended
periods. So their harmful effects are experienced long after Diwali
celebrations are ended.
Fireworks also produce a lot of smoke,
when they are burnt. Apart from being a source of toxic fumes, the
smoke also causes great discomfort. People suffering from asthma and
other respiratory conditions have no other choice but to stay indoors
during Diwali. They are unable to go outside for fear of any of the
smoke getting into their lungs and triggering an attack.
Fireworks also bring with them a lot of noise. Diwali favourites like
the 'Laxmi bomb' produce a sound of 100 decibels when they are burst. In
comparison, any sound beyond 50 decibels is classified
as being noise. The noise produced by crackers is extremely hazardous
to health.
Sudden noise can cause temporary hearing loss. Extended
exposure could lead to permanent hearing loss. Crackers burst
indiscriminately cause disturbances in sleep. This can be especially
upsetting to people who require undisturbed rest like babies and elderly
people. Noise also frightens children and household pets, causing them
to experience anxiety.
Most fireworks are made by factories
which employ children as labourers. These young children are forced to
handle the toxic substances that go into these crackers. As a result,
they contract diseases associated with these substances. Due to lack of
medical aid, many of these children do not live beyond their teenage
years.
Power Consumption Since Diwali is a festival of lights, people decorate their homes by
lighting them up. This places a huge load on the power supply system.
Electric lights are used to decorate entire homes, offices, and roads.
Sometimes, these lights are even left on even during the day. This is a
waste of energy. It is better to switch to the traditional oil lamps.
Even though they consume oil, these lamps are usually used only for a
short time.
Consumerism Along with light, Diwali is also associated with wealth. People believe
that this is an auspicious time to purchase goods. The newspapers are
full of advertisements offering discounts, sales, and free gifts.
Deluded by these claims, consumers tend to go out and buy items that
they do not really need. These items like television sets, DVD players,
etc. tend to lie unused and are then discarded. This results
in wastage of precious natural resources that go into making these
items. In addition, most of these items are non degradable. When they
are discarded, they lie in landfills and garbage dumps, sometimes for
years on end.
Celebrating Diwali does not mean completely giving up the things you
love. However, it is time to go back to the traditional Diwali
celebrations of the past. Not only will you be helping to save the
environment but also you will understand better the true meaning of
Diwali.

Building energy saving in the idea of low-carbon economy, China's semiconductor lighting industry is bigger cake. According to analysis of relevant institutions, in 2010, the Chinese LED industry output to more than 150 billion yuan; output doubled from 2008, 2008, total output value of about 700 million. Tempting cakes from the current excitement of professional exhibition and forum can be a good overview.
Compared with traditional lighting, led tube with energy, materials, environmental protection and other advantages, it is consistent with the current sustainable low-carbon, green economy trends. In the state, "City of ten thousand ten" items such as the Shanghai World Expo promotion, LED industry, new opportunities.
As the world's leading exhibition and events organizer, Reed Exhibitions, in recent years, new sources and new energy to the solar water heater industry into a continuing concern, GreenLighting Shanghai2010 received industry praise. Reed Exhibitions Josephine Lee, Vice President of Eastern Region that, LED lighting, while maintaining the phenomenal growth, industry is also facing new challenges and problems.
On the product itself, unlike traditional lighting specifications have been standardized to reduce manufacturing costs, forklift, a high degree of customization, resulting in low capacity utilization. In addition, LED point light source characteristics, resulting in LED lighting to be integrated with the bulb sale, raised the cost of LED lighting business risk, these factors lead directly to LED products, expensive than traditional products 5-10 times, which led to popularity of LED products difficult.
On the other hand, gate opener technology and the existence of certain barriers to entry. Early December 2009, UL8750 standards published and national and local standards have also launched the design of LED application products put forward higher requirements. Cost and quality requirements in the dual pressures of the design of LED products, will face even greater challenges.
In addition, the international to the domestic pvc window manufacturers to bring great pressure on companies. Information from Reed Exhibitions shows the various international new lighting, new energy sources & Expo and Congress are brought together the whole industry chain of led tube manufacturers, the international giant which is the new light source in the international New Energy Lighting Exhibition & Forum get together appearance. It is understood that, although there is still a long time away from the opening GreenLightingShanghai2011, Nichia, Seoul Semiconductor and other international LED chip makers have reserved booth. Currently, light pollution has to affect human health, and the point can no longer be ignored. The LED, as no flicker, no UV radiation, no electromagnetic radiation, low heat radiation characteristics, coupled with application of light diffusion technology to eliminate glare, making it a truly healthy source.
LED light is known as the "green light energy," said the products do not contain fastener, lead the international limit of six hazardous substances in the same brightness, the power consumption of only ordinary incandescent 1 / 10, their life can be extended 50 times has become the world's fourth-generation representatives of energy-saving products. Energy and environmental issues in today's increasingly prominent, energy saving and emission reduction becomes important and urgent than thermostat. Failure to develop alternative energy sources in the premise of how the existing energy resources more efficient use of energy shortage problem is to solve an effective way. The LED lights with energy efficient features as, LED industry is bound to become national, regional, and related industries and enterprises concerned and the development of hot spots.
