Now isn't it a great initiative?

it is nice to see celebs joining in the campaign and swapped plastic bottles with stainless steel ones and passing on the challenge to fellow actors.

This is significant as India will be hosting the World Environment Day this year, which is one of the most important days observed by the UN worldwide. The theme for the year 2018 is “Beat Plastic Pollution”.

With plastic making up ten per cent of the total waste generated, half of it used is disposable or single-use. This presents a major problem as it is non-renewable and its manufacture and destruction exposes individuals and environment to many toxins, including carcinogens.

 

Never miss a chance to be amazed by the glitz and the glamour of the Entertainment industry.
