We're all aware of how we're exhausting resources that are naturally provided to us. Not only that, we're risking our lives as well as that of the other creatures who co-exist with us. With increasing global warming and climate changes, it's necessary to take steps to curb the use of harmful products and try to save our Mother Earth before we destroy what's left of it. We can do so by creating and bringing into our homes eco-friendly Ganpati idols.

We all know it's said that "Charity begins at home" so why not practice what we preach? This Ganesh Chaturthi, let's pledge to cut down on our use of harmful products and idols made of plaster of Paris, acrylic paint, etc that affect the ocean life after immersion of idols. Let's pledge to come together and take a step towards a better environment by getting eco-friendly Ganesh idols that are made of clay, paper mache, dried corn, spinach, organic colors, etc at our homes and society pandals.

Here are five places where you can buy eco-friendly Ganpati idols in Mumbai :

 1. Paper Ganesh

They have idols that are exclusively made of paper mache and painted with organic paint. Their 2 feet idols weigh around 2.25 kgs which are about ten times less than that of a 2 feet idol made of plaster of Paris contributing to nature at its best.
