Ganesh Chaturthi 2022: Here Is Why We Need To Use An Eco-Friendly Ganesha Idol
When you are busy making preparations for Ganesha Chaturthi, one important thing to consider is to choose an eco-friendly Ganesha idol.
The regular ones that are widely available are made of plaster of Paris. Though they look attractive and affordable, there is a reason to choose eco-friendly idols. They won't harm your health or the environment. This year, Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on 31 August.
Why We Should Not See Moon On Ganesh Chaturthi
As idols are generally immersed in water, using boo-degradable materials would be a safer bet in the big picture. Materials like clay or paper are comparatively better than the widely used materials like plaster of Paris.
Clay idols don't harm the environment and they degrade faster when immersed in water. Even if you don't know how to make an eco-friendly Ganesha idol, you can buy them in some select outlets.
Why Use An Eco-Friendly Ganesha
Water
Pollution
Can
Be
Prevented
Materials
like
plaster
of
Paris
may
pollute
water.
As
they
contain
chemicals
that
may
turn
the
waters
acidic,
it
is
dangerous
for
aquatic
life.
Also,
polluted
water
when
consumed
by
humans
can
be
life-threatening.
Harmful
Chemicals
Plaster
of
Paris
contains
many
chemicals
like
Sulphur,
Phosphorous,
Gypsum,
Magnesium
etc;
and
the
colours
and
paints
used
to
decorate
the
idol
contain
carbon,
lead
and
many
more
chemicals.
When
an
idol
is
immersed
in
a
water
body,
the
life
forms
will
get
affected
first.
And
when
we
eat
the
fish
from
that
lake,
we
too
get
affected
severely.
Lung
Damage
Some
dyes
and
glitters
used
to
decorate
the
idol
emit
some
gases
and
when
we
inhale
them,
it
may
affect
our
lungs.
Using bio-degradable materials is the key to protecting the environment and protecting ourselves. Life needs the right balance and when human beings disturb the balance of the ecosystem, the effects could harm human beings too. Therefore, let us enjoy this festival more by spreading awareness about protecting nature.
