During Ganesha Chaturthi, lakhs of Ganesha idols made of plastic and plaster of Paris (PoP) are disposed off in lakes and rivers. Here is one organization that not only helps you get eco friendly idols but makes sure the visarjan is done responsibly too. What’s more, the clay of the dissolved idols can be recycled as well!
Some lucky fish in Mumbai are in for a treat this Ganesh Chaturthi. They will receive corn and spinach meals, packed into special Ganesha idols, home-delivered for free. The gods indeed must be crazy!
From reducing the cost of clay idols and banning PoP idols to spreading awareness and organizing various campaigns and workshops, this year both government and citizens worked hard to make Ganesha Chaturthi an environmental friendly festival. This is how they did it!
