Ensure that the dyes used to color the idols are organic or vegetable in origin. Ban on the immersion of plaster icons into lakes, rivers and the sea. You can use idol of stone or metal for ganesh festival and symbolically immerse this in a bucket of water, or even carry it in procession to the sea, hold it under the water, and then bring it back home.
