Stop firing crackers — plant air bombs

I honestly don’t understand what’s happening in Delhi anymore. Every Year the  families rushing to buy air purifiers while choking on the same smog we all contribute to. I’ve seen this  and the numbers back it up around 27% of Delhi-NCR households now own at least one purifier, spending anywhere from "₹5,000 to ₹40,000" per unit. Delhi alone accounts for about 72% of national purifier sales at major retailers.And still, the AQI shoots past 800 during peak months like November 2024.

This whole cycle feels pointless. Yes, many industries and companies add massive pollution and the government definitely needs to regulate them harder—but let’s not pretend we’re innocent either.
Every Diwali, we blow up ₹500 crore worth of crackers, and every day we take 4- to 7-seater cars just to transport one person to office. Multiply that by millions, and the pollution becomes unavoidable.

So we can’t blame “them” all the time. We’re a big part of this mess too.

Instead of burning money on machines that only clean indoor air while the outdoors stays toxic, why not invest in what I call “AIR BOMBS”—plants that naturally clean pollution 24/7?

• "Aloe vera "releases oxygen and absorbs formaldehyde & carbon monoxide

• "Snake plant "converts CO₂ to oxygen even at night

• "Spider plant, peace lily, pothos, jade plant, weeping fig" — all filter toxins
  No electricity bills, no maintenance drama—just real purification.

Diwali is Deepavali—bringing light, not smoke.
Swap one ₹500 cracker box for five snake plants (₹200 each). Those will purify a room all year long instead of adding to the next AQI disaster.

Delhi has seen enough—from the 2016 episode to the brutal 2024 season. Industries must change, yes, but so must we.

Real change starts with roots, not filters.
Delhi, it’s time to wake up. Plant now, breathe free.
