Expences
|
The materials required are very cheap and can be found anywhere.
Idols are generally made by ourselves as it is easy to work with those materials so we don’t have to buy
them and use extra money.
No. of public pandals and the decoration used in them are reduced and natural materials are used for
decoration.
This lowers down the price of pandals and decorations.
This also reduces noise pollution and the
use of non-biodegradable material is also reduced.

As The materials are costly and are required a lot.
And some materials are needed to be
manufactured in factories.
The cost of designing the idol is also a lot and it is very hard to work with these materials.
No. of public pandals are very much which lead to a lot of expenses.
And more pandals lead to more decoration needed. And the decoration is done by non-biodegradable materials
which are generally expensive.

Affects the environment
|
In eco-friendly ganesh Chaturthi the environment isn’t affected badly.
Instead we put a seed inside the mud idol mixed with fertilisers then immerse it into the ground then a tree
is grown easily - this helps the environment and maintains the eco-friendly balance.
The number of pandals are less so there is very less noise pollution and the decoration is also very less
and done by biodegradable materials which can be reused and recycled
|
Non-Eco-Friendly Ganesh Chaturthi affects the environment badly.
The idols that are made with toxic materials mixed with chemicals increase water pollution.
This also leads to the death of aquatic animals and aquatic plants.
Many people drink the sea water also and get affected by these chemicals.
The number of pandals is a lot leading to excessive noise pollution and the decoration is also a lot with
the use of expensive and non-biodegradable material that cannot be recycled and reused and pollute the
environment.
