Say no to Firecrackers

Firecrackers are like High Cholesterol Levels

For our Mother Earth

Though it brings momentary mirth

Firecrackers are nature’s high-jackers

It can cause pollution of

Air, Water, Land and Sound

Its chemical spreading and ill -effects

Know no bound

children make firecrackers

that spoil their hands

Child labour should be banned

Firecrackers can be Red, Yellow, Blue or Green

Its effects can always be felt

Smelt, Heard and Seen

By not bursting firecrackers

Couldn’t we make the Earth a better place?

Not for you or for me

But, for the entire human race !

If we ban firecrackers

We could re-heal nature

And save our natural wonders

For generations of our future

We, the children should learn to drive this.

Use technology to support this.

Drive narratives and build partnerships;

Lead by example,

To bring about a mindset change

Talking and demonstrating to our communities

Engage with our leaderships.

Yes, this will be a long, difficult and slow process

But tracking SDG3.9 constantly,

Celebrating small wins,

will help achieve this

transition with greater success.

Every bit matters So, ACT NOW 

Let’s save Earth 

It does not matter HOW !!

Alone, we can do so little

Together, we can do so much

Thus, lets UNITE

And take a stand to do what’s right

Light a Diya Brighten your lives

Have a safe, pollution free Diwali

Let us Rejoice

BE A BACKER SAY NO TO FIRECRACKERS!!!
