A Diwali Message to All Indians (3)

STILL IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THEM AND DEFINITELY WANT TO BURST!

* Please think twice if you want to burst instead of throwing away and not buy next time

* If you still want to burst, make sure you don't cause trouble to neighbors, pedestrians and traffic

* Don't burst high decibel, high sounding crackers to cause panic to sick & elderly

* DON'T BURST CRACKERS FROM 10PM to 6AM - it is illegal as per Supreme Court orders

Hope you will be a responsible and morally good citizen of India. Please share this message with everyone you know. Let us stop Child Labour, Let us stop polluting, Let us leave behind a better Earth for our Children.

A Diwali Message to All Indians (2)

Think about the child above and thousands of other Children involved in child labor in our Fireworks factories. Think of the little boy below making crackers and the face of the girl inhaling the hazardous chemicals as she carelessly stuffs them into your favorite cracker.

PLEASE DON'T BUY AND BURST CRACKERS BECAUSE

* You are helping an industry that unethically and inhumanely employs thousands of children

* Bursting Firecrackers was not part of our old Diwali tradition until they were invented recently

* The pollution (both noise, air and water) that you cause affects a lot of people

* Firecrackers are not safe for you or especially Children. They contain hazardous chemicals

(Don't mistake seven year old Nurba for playing. She is working. Isn't it so sad.)

Diwali is around the corner. Most of us are getting ready to celebrate it big time with friends and family. But please take a moment to think of the less fortunate among us. Can you do something about them?

Yes you definitely can.

And no we are not talking of giving gifts, clothes and sweets to the poor!
