[{"selector":"#anim-c18d9aa5-f8c0-406c-8495-2c198be81159 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.888926374906433%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2675df79-01f1-4a9b-ad41-942991945590","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77684fd3-9d71-4da3-abdc-36492ea768a1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(126.31579%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With growing air pollution and AQI it is important that we celebrate the festival in eco-friendly manner

[{"selector":"#anim-35b9c283-8410-4c1a-ad52-66441b347c8c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b965bdca-73c2-4968-91b0-a7102b3a48fc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(126.31579%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b66da7e8-03f0-412c-ba67-d5d153f154a4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.268518404744238%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Rather than bursting traditional crackers one can burst Green crackers
