Make Rangoli with bio-degradable items
The custom of Rangoli making is centuries old. Many items like pulses, flour, flowers, turmeric and leaves were used by women in early days to make Rangoli. But, now, these traditional elements of making rangoli have been replaced by chemical based colours. To contribute to the nature, it is important that women should again adopt earlier ways of making Rangoli.

Burn firecrackers bit smartly
Burning firecrackers undoubtedly gives you pleasure but it also contributes to air as well as noise pollution. Even, it also leaves the city with litter next morning.
