Here are 3 ways you can opt for eco-friendly decor as well to minimise your waste production.

Eco-friendly decor ideas for Ganesh Chaturthi

1. Reusable decorations

Rather than buying and then disposing off decorations like garlands every year, invest in some good quality pieces that will last you a long time. Also, keep in mind that plastic decorations are next to impossible to recycle. So use natural fibre material. You can reuse old sarees and dupattas for decoration of the pedestal.

2. Use natural colours or flowers for rangoli

If you are planning to welcome Ganpati to your home, give a harmonious look to your decorations by following one single colour palette in theme. This will give a more aesthetically pleasing look to your space. Even if you want to make a rangoli, use flowers or natural colours like turmeric powder rather than artificial colours which are not only bad for the environment but also loos cheap.

3. Real leaves and flowers

Rather than using plastic and cheap-looking decorations, use real leaves and flowers for decor.? Once decorated, spray them with water every day and they are sure to last you for the whole 10-day-long festivities. Using real flowers will also keep your home smelling fresh all the time.
