Diwali 2022 is almost here and while we continue our preparation for this festive season we cannot avoid the mess that comes along for the planet each year. From the rise in pollution, and the abundance of waste, to the damage that we do to the environment each year, the meaning this festival has carried for centuries is losing itself.
However, we have reached the years when we can reverse the damage from all these years with only a few changes that won’t hurt our fun but will definitely make our surroundings greener. And these little changes will also bring back the true meaning of this festival- to spread the light around us.
Now without any further ado, here are ideas that you can adapt to make your Diwali 2022 greener.
5 Ideas to Make Diwali 2022 Greener
DIY Decoration Ideas
Diwali is all about decorating your house to the best of your ability and bringing in brightness that wow the family as well. So instead of creating a big heap of waste from the decors that are soon to be pulled down, why not create something yourself with everything that is already available around you? Handmade decors and gifts can really add a personal touch and it is never too late to get started with these.
The internet has got an abundance of eco-friendly decor ideas that you shouldn’t miss out on, so make the change and surprise everyone with your work!

Light Up The Diyas
One of the best ways to make a change this Diwali is to go from decorative lights to diyas that will light up your house without wasting any excess electricity which is a way of conservation of energy. Go for simple terracotta diyas as they are a better option when compared to the beautifully painted ones which are often toxic.
Other than conserving energy, this is also a good way of supporting the people who make these diyas which is in turn supporting the economy and helping others have a happy Diwali too. So spread the happiness and leave behind those decorative lights.
Go Green with the Rangoli
Changing to biodegradable organic rangoli powder is a choice that you will not regret. Not only do you help in conserving the environment but also open up a whole new list of colour options for yourself. Using coloured rice powder, turmeric, coffee powder, and flowers of different colours won’t just be pocket friendly but also spread a beautiful floral scent everywhere.
Wrap Those Gift With Newspaper
Moving on to the next kind of waste that we choose not to avoid every year- gift wrappers. While it is good to make those gifts look pretty and mysterious, there are better options available out there, especially when you know that the fate of these wrappers is to meet the bin. So when it comes to wrapping gifts, why not go with newspapers?

Newspapers can also make your gift look pretty and with a little extra effort, the aesthetic that they create can even exceed those that are hard to achieve with wrappers. So why not give this a shot this year?
Firecrackers
Growing up, we have always associated Diwali with the festival when we get to light a whole bundle of crackers that will light up the night sky. However, this is also one of the biggest problems in recent years due to the pollution that it causes. And while we love blasting those colourful lights into the sky, we cannot ignore the damage that it causes.
So we’ve found the solution that can help us with this- eco-friendly firecrackers. Yes, this is a thing and it is high time we shift from those pollution increases to the best substitute that we can enjoy!
We hope that you like the ideas on this list and have thought about making the change. While it may not easy at first, these are definitely worth every bit for a safer and greener future.
