When people set off fireworks, they dirty the air and fill it with dust, harming humans and the planet.</p><p>Firecrackers' smoke can make breathing hard, especially for little kids. It can even cause coughing and make your throat feel scratchy. People with heart or breathing problems should be extra careful.</p><p>Instead of firecrackers, let’s celebrate the festival in healthier ways! We can enjoy lights, yummy food, and time with family and friends!</p>

Diwali, the festival of light, brings joy and unity with colourful rangolis, festive foods, and celebrations.
