The festive season is here. The hustle-bustle in the streets will be back with the aroma of sweets and noise of crackers. The season of happiness is finally here. Festivals in India are more than just an auspicious occasion. It is that one day when all come together and laugh their heart out. Females in the house prepare special dishes to make the day more memorable. The day is all about being feeling happy and blessed to be part of such vibrant culture. All of you have been through a lot lately. It’s time to leave everything behind and celebrate like usual with Ellementry. 

However, in recent times, people have forgotten the true spirit of the festival. As you celebrate each in full glory, Sometimes you tend to overspend and wasting resources. The auspicious occasion celebrated with burning crackers has started to largely impact the environment negatively 

Recent times have taught us the importance of hygiene. Washing hands almost 10 thousand times a day wasn’t enough to keep yourself safe from the virus. People have become more environmentally conscious. They opt for sustainable celebrations and gifts. Exchanging plants is the new trend. Green is the new gold today as each one realizes that their health and environment’s health are interconnected. 

It feels so good to see people pausing to think if their purchase is harming nature in some way or the other. The gifts one receives and gives have changed. From fancy clothing to sustainable clothing, from expensive bouquets to gardening hampers, from international chocolates to organic seeds and nuts, people have found an eco-friendly way to exchange happiness. 

Here is how you can make your festivity nature friendly:

Replace your shiny wrapping paper with reusable gifts bags. There are many other ways to pack a gift that does not produce as much waste.

Do not get swayed away by the flashy advertisements encouraging you to buy expensive items for loved ones. Festival is a time for gratitude and love. Either give them a small pot with the sapling of their favourite flower or make something for them by hand.

Diwali is the festival of lights. Replace your artificial light with traditional diyas. Buy from the local. There is no bigger feeling than sharing happiness with others. Your purchase will help someone to enjoy the festival with a smile and not sorrow. Check out ellementry's eco-friendly illumination with sustainable diyas.

Decorate your home with flowers and rangolis instead of artificial decorating items.

Here are some items by Ellementry that might help you in celebrating this year’s festival with much more elegance and sustainability:
