Question

speech on eco friendly ganesh chaturti in english

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the biggest festival of the year, Lord Ganesha’s birthday Ganesh Chaturthi is just around the corner and like every other year, water and air pollution will go up in many parts of our country as hundreds of thousands of people will gather to immerse Ganpati idols into the water bodies. Since the idols are made from Plaster of Paris these are non-biodegradable naturally and so these continue to float on the water for a long time thereby choking the water bodies and adversely impacting aquatic ecosystem. Adding to the problem, the idols are often decorated with paints heavy on lead and mercury which adds to the ongoing process of destroying the flora and fauna of the water body.

To fight these challenges during the festival and to protect the environment, four childhood friends who were always passionate about gardening, environment and planting trees, Sudhakar, Bharat, Puneet and Vivek, from Bengaluru came up with Sasya Ganapathi, an eco-friendly Ganesha Puja kit. In Kannada, Sasya means plant, thus the kit provided by these swachh warriors help devotees go green by converting the idols after visarjan into plants.

Meet Team Sasya Ganapathi – Sudhakar and Bharat

We celebrate a festival for a good cause, but if the festival is hampering the nature in any way then it is a sin. During the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, almost every other person welcomes Ganesha idols. However, these idols are mostly made of plaster of Paris that causes more harm to our environment than any good. Through Sasya Ganapathi we aim to celebrate the biggest festival of the year in a green way, the kit will help people plant a tree thereby reducing global warming and protect our already dying water bodies, says 23-year-old Sudhakar.

The idea to make environment friendly Ganesha idols came to these swachh crusaders back in 2016 when India was celebrating World Environment Day. At that time, Sudhakar was in the final year of B.com, Bharat and Puneet were doing BCA and Vivek was in the final semester of his engineering course.

The friends thought of combining their passion for planting trees and making eco-friendly ganesh idols together. After a research spanning almost one year, they came up with an environmental friendly Ganesha Puja kit and finally launched it on June 1, 2017. Till now they have sold almost 1000 idols within Bengaluru and hope that the reach will grow more and more with every passing year.
