India is a land of festivals, fasts and fairs. Celebrations take place most extravagantly throughout the year. But at the same time, we need to opt for eco-friendly ways during these festivities. Thermocol is hazardous for our environment. They are indestructible. As they do not decompose, they make soil infertile. If burnt, they release poisonous gases and pollute the air. One must not only avoid thermocol but also do away with single-use plastic during the Ganeshotsav celebrations. Say no to thermocol and go green. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
