Artisans decorate a temporary pandal under construction and use disposable plastic bottles with the theme of plastic pollution in Kolkata, India, on September 9, 2025, ahead of the Durga Puja festival. As the world's population continues to grow, the amount of garbage that people produce also increases. On-the-go lifestyles require easily disposable products, such as soda cans or bottles of water, but the accumulation of these products leads to increasing amounts of plastic pollution around the world. As plastic is composed of major toxic pollutants, it has the potential to cause great harm to the environment in the form of air, water, and land pollution ahead of the Durga Puja Hindu festival. The festival starts on September 28 and ends on October 2.
