1 Response to "Tips to celebrate eco friendly diwali"It's good to find out different festivities being celebrated from different countries. We too have our own in the Philippines. But just like what most countries do during holiday season (Christmas and New Year); they're being celebrated with a blast. Fireworks are always present as they serve to be one of the highlights during the celebration. "Pyro" fireworks are really "in" right now. They're eco friendly but they tend to be very expensive as well.
It's good to know that there are more and more ways to celebrate festivities with being eco friendly. Amazing post.
