Ganesha is viewed as the Lord of wisdom and consistently every year the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is
\ncelebrated with extreme devotion and enthusiasm. Yet, the most genuine effect of the Ganesh Chaturthi
\non environment is because of the drenching of idols. The inundation of idols made out of compound
\nmaterials causes huge pollution. The utilization of thermocol and plastic in pandals just as for garlands
\nand different adornments increases non-biodegradable waste. This celebration symbolizes togetherness
\nas number of individuals meet up to celebrate this festival on a grand and large scale. In any case,
\nnowadays this celebration is raising the burning issue of Environmental Pollution.
\nHence to celebrate this festival with all positive energy for the environment there are few steps needed
\nto take while celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi;
\nEco friendly Decoration: In festivals generally individuals by and large utilize plastic and non-degradable
\nmaterial. These materials add more risk to our environment when dumped as trash later. We can use
\nrather flowers made of paper or natural blossoms for decoration. Natural materials like fabric, wood,
\npaper can be utilized to decorate around Ganpati idols. Use reused paper\/Newspaper design rather than
\nthermocol, which is likewise not degradable.
\nLimit number of public pandals: More pandals implies more noise and more contamination, instead of
\nindividual festival favours community celebration. This will guarantee diminished expense of festival;
\npaper contamination in a limited space and when compared with individual celebration, community
\ncelebration will cause less water and noise pollution.
\nBuilding a Compost pit for organic material: Gather separately after the celebrations, the offerings of
\nblossoms\/flowers, garlands frequently called "Nirmalya" and other natural material and put them in a
\ncommunity built fertilizer\/compost pit. This manure material can be utilized to prepare your own
\nnursery. In any case if you must immerse them, cover them by papers rather than polythene packs as
\npaper is biodegradable. Dried flowers like marigold, hibiscus and others can be utilized later to make
\nnatural colours or decorative paper for gifts.
\nRecycle the Waste: There are few things that can be done while thinking about how to recycle. The first
\none is Reduce, it is the best way to manage waste. The second is Reuse products in different ways. And
\nthe third is to Recycle the Ganesh festival flowers and festival leftovers is another way to manage waste.
\nCreate natural colours from flowers, for example, marigold, hibiscus and other festival extras that can be
\nutilized to make manure. All these methods help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away
\nafter the festival is over.
\nSay no to using Plaster of Paris or hazardous chemicals: Assure this Ganesh Festival, you Go Green with
\nworshiping eco-friendly Ganesha idol and also assure refraining from utilizing Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols
\nmade of harmful substance. These materials include more harm to nature. Rather settle for clay. The
\nmaterial utilized for idols like Plaster of Paris (POP) mostly has the compound of gypsum, sulfur,
\nphosphorus and magnesium. Synthetic paints contain mercury, cadmium, lead and carbon. Immersion
\nof idols with such harmful and poisonous components raises the degree of harmful effects it will have on
\nthe mother nature.
\nSymbolic immersion: Rather than inundating Ganesh idol in a water body, it very well may be
\nsymbolically immersed at home. A few people utilize a metal or stone idol and symbolically immerse this
\nin a pail of water, or even carry it to the sea, hold it under the water, and afterward bring it back home for the following year. Another method for immersing can be sprinkling a couple of drops of water on
\nthe idol and afterward clearing it off and saving it for the following year's worshiping. One very
\nenvironment friendly thing that can be done is, the idol can be made of red soil with seeds in it which
\nafter immersion grows into a plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
