Since we moved to Pune, we've installed a permanent Ganpati idol at home, and every year I make a small idol that we pray to and submerge (in a bucket outside the door). Being environment conscious, our Ganpati idols have always been 'green' and made of clay, wheat flour,etc. This year, we have consciously decided to use all the 'raddi' (old newspapers) and make a recyled Ganpati.
The only thing used in this Ganpati, apart from the newspapers and a little bit of water, is glue to stick the various parts. We have made many of these to give out to our guests who come home for the darshan.

You are going beserk with your environment conscious avtaar dont you think. Use of raddi paper for a God like Vignaharta. There are certain things which has its charm only when performed and done traditionally. You made a ganpati out of a newspaper which was to be thrown in the dustbin. Very bad!Where will you wash your sins? Probably in that sea you were trying to save! There were other eco-friendly materials you could have used to make a Ganesha.
