Hindu Festival and Environmental problems

In Hinduism there is a of immersion of god's idol in the water. It is part of the ritual. big procession are carried out while the god is taken. Recently there was the Ganesh festival or so called Ganesh Chaturthi.
Did even one think that what amount of pollution it is causing to the water. The idols are made of clay and mud which causes no harm . this can easily mix with the water. But what about the paints. the idols are painted with bright colours and are made to look beautiful. these paints when dissolve into water in becomes toxic. the harmful chemicals that are mixed with the paint tend to make the water polluted. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/09/26/green.ganesh.eco/?hpt=C2
 the people feel happy after the whole festival is over but the marine life becomes unhappy. they get disturbed by it, a it suddenly goes inside water and later bye the chemicals.Why will god want to destroy its own creatures? They have also the full right to live freely. There is no where mention that the idols are to be immersed in water.  So why do we inter fear in their life? Mhy can not we let them lead their happy life?
