Mumbai has special ways of bringing the seas and the stars together, and the biggest celebration of this union is the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. Whirling, singing for the love of Ganesha that ends with the meaningful act of letting him to the seas, under the stars.
But, right beneath these pretty words lies its very reality - the number of microplastics in the same ocean is five times the number of stars in our galaxy. Without realizing we've only been contributing to that year after year. You can celebrate god with the same pomp and show if not better while being mindful of the very nature we thank him for. So here are 8 reasons why we should move to eco friendly Ganesha as a contribution to save the environment!

Reducing the usage of plastic is a red alert! One must act as a responsible citizen and work things out from their end too. So use biodegradable plates to bypass the plastic pollution.

In the end, we all selfish beings need a reason for us to believe, right? So here it is. Humans and their health will be protected if you make/buy eco-friendly Ganesha.
Metal content in water affects the quality of food and can be harmful to humans in many ways. An eco-friendly Ganpati does not have any glitter.
