The concern about pollution during diwali was welcomed throughout the World by followers of Sanatan (Hindu) religion and as per the data given by various national and international agencies, the pollution level during Diwali festival was lower than what it was last year.
I think it's now the turn of the world and environmentalists to ask christians for not cutting more than 120 million trees across the world 'for decoration' in their homes .
In 2002, in the United States, 21,904 Christmas tree farms covering 447,000 acres (1,809 km2) of cropland accounted for the 20.8 million Christmas trees cut.Of those farms, 686 harvested 100 acres (0.4 km2) or more, which accounted for over 196,000 acres (793 km2) of the total area of trees harvested.
