We burn ‘Holika Dahan’ that causes a lot of pollution and the colour used in Holi is also very bad to skin, many faces allergies and skin diseases for months.
Water Wastage Due To Holi
The wastage of water could be estimated that while playing Holi, a person uses at least two buckets of water.
A bucket is of 15 liters, which means that about 30 liters of water are wasted by a person on Holi. If about five lakh persons play with water on Holi, then 150 lakh liters of water would be wasted.
