Even if we stop Bursting crackers it won't impact pollution levels significantly.
I see so many SUVs with only 1 person in the car. People are taking 2 wheelers for distances which would only take 10-15 min walk.
Stop inefficient use of vehicles and plant trees that'd help...
I used to burst crackers when I was a kid... Its been ~14 years I've not burst crackers.
My reason:
While bursting crackers I saw stray animals getting scared and run helplessly, which hurt me so I decided to stop Bursting crackers.
It might not make a huge impact but I made sure atleast I won't be the one to hurt animals by bursting crackers.
I can't stop others but definitely I can request others to burst crackers somewhere safe and away from animals.

Its our ritual, its our right to celebrate the tradition, Diwali brings joy and business. It's a very auspicious time that we must cherish every moment.
Nobody has right to ask anybody to stop Bursting crackers. Its every individual's right to decide.
