GO FOR NATURAL OR HOME-MADE COLORS: Colors are one of the essential parts of celebrating Holi. All you have to do is to play with natural or home-made colors by replacing the artificial ones.

So, you could go for a dry celebration by using natural color powders to protect our lovable environment as it is good to us every time.
FIRE-UP THE ECO-FRIENDLY WASTES: When it comes to Holi fire, you should say a big “NO” to wood as it would be traditionally burnt every year. However, it would be a cruel act of humans to the trees and so go for waste objects such as waste boxes, cow dung, coconut waste, and others for Holi fire. After all, the environment has been serving and being nice to us all these years and it’s our time to show our love by taking good care of it.
SAY NO TO BALLOONS AND PLASTIC BAGS: While the festival is all about happiness and the goodness of life, you should avoid the use of balloons and plastic bags as they could create harm externally and to our environment. So, you gotta avoid using balloons and plastic bags at least from this year to create a remarkable difference and healthy environment.
SPRINKLE FLOWERS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT: What if you celebrate a colorful festival with vibrant flowers? Wouldn’t it be appealing? Well, the colorful and lively flowers would make your celebration much more amazing and elated. So, switch on the music and dance along with the flower rain. Notably, you have to collect and throw the used flowers in the dustbin and not discard them by dumping them in the water.
