Diwali 2023: Confetti poppers to sparklers, eco-friendly crackers

Green crackers are firecrackers with a smaller shell, no ash, and/or chemicals such as dust suppressants to reduce emissions, particularly particulate matter. 

When popped, these crackers release bright confetti and streamers. They are safe and make little noise.

Eco-friendly sparklers help celebrate beautiful, gleaming effects without the need for loud bangs. They are frequently made using low-emission formulas.

Some eco-friendly rockets are designed to emit as little noise and pollution as possible while displaying a light show when launched.
