Semi-protected edit request on 25 March 2024

In the "Issues" Section, under the "Environmental impact" sub-heading, change "According to a local tabloid, 30,000 bonfires burn every year during Holi, which is approximately 100 kilograms (220.46 lbs) of wood." to "According to a local tabloid, 30,000 bonfires burn every year during Holi, burning an estimated total of approximately 3 million kilograms (3306.93 US tons) of wood."

The current language is unclear that the cited reference referred to each individual bonfire burning 100 kg of wood. 30,000 bonfires burning 100 kilograms of wood? That isn't even 30,000 matches! Mapgame (talk) 17:39, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I clarified that this refers to the amount burned by each fire, but I did not add the calculated total because it is not in the cited source. Thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 18:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
