Ganeshotsav heralds a new beginning. So this festive season, instead of causing pollution and destruction to our planet, let's spread awareness and create a different approach. Even celebrities, for the past several years, have been urging people to switch to eco-friendly elements, which will help us live longer, and peacefully. So, it's high time that we take charge and make changes in the way we celebrate festivals. By doing this we are not questioning beliefs or rituals but only altering our ways of celebration.
