Indian traditions and sustainability

We Indian are known to live with nature in full harmony. From the ancient time the Traditions of India are full of sustainability. Many examples can be cited for this.
The fortnight of Shradh parv of Hindu religion is one of such example. This time marked by the remembering our pitra with cooking food and doing some ritualistic pooja and then disbruting the anna to Brahmana and needy people. 
In this way not only we remember our forefathers but also learn to respect the needy people and other creatures like crow and dog. The simple rituals take us near to the environment. 
The light and smoke of bhog burned with ghee removes the little insects and worms that are prospered due to Mansoon and rainy moist 4 month season and clean the atmosphere. Although dry cowdunk burning pollute the air but yet the ghee burning is having some purification of air too.
