Diwali, the festival of lights, brings joy, togetherness, and apart from the Diwali Puja Rituals it also includes the age-old tradition of gift-giving. Yet, as we grow more conscious of our environmental footprint, it’s time to rethink the types of gifts we exchange during this cherished festival. Traditional Diwali gifts like Soan Papdi and cutlery set have started to feel outdated and unsustainable. In their place, a new trend is emerging – sustainable Diwali gifts.
The Need for Eco-Friendly Diwali Gifts
Diwali is a time when our hearts glow with the warmth of family and friends, but the same sentiment should extend to our beloved Earth. As environmental concerns grow, so does the need for sustainable gift options. It’s a way to express our affection not only for our loved ones but for the planet too.
Traditional Diwali gifts, like mass-produced sweets in plastic packaging, often contribute to excessive waste. The plastic packaging can take hundreds of years to decompose. Similarly, decorative items made of non-biodegradable materials can harm our environment. This is why many are opting for eco-friendly gifts that carry a small ecological footprint.
