World Environment Day: TV actors take steps to preserve the environment

June 5 is World Environment Day and heres how these TV actors are planning to take care of the environmentIra Sone I recently made some mindful changes after reading about plastic pollution as it can afflict land waterways and oceans I decided to discard all plastic items from my house especially from the kitchen it was a difficult process but my mothers old school and effective pointers helped me make this change Ive been persistent to help my friends make this change as wellSahil Anand I am from Chandigarh that is extremely beautiful and basically I am very fascinated with greenery I am really into gardening Chandigarh has many trees and gardens and I am habituated to them I make sure that now also where I am living it has gardens around it I also have a garden at my place where I have planted many plants I love plants and I want to have a green environment around me Obviously I never throw garbage on the road or never spit or eat something which I have to spit But I see people spitting and we should do something against this We should organize campaigns Thanks to Modi sir the problem of green garbage wet garbage and dry garbage has really been taken care of and I see people following it and I am very glad that its happeningSana Makbul Khan The basic thing would be that it all starts from yourself If you on your own take care that theres no litter around you you yourself take a step forward than that will go a long way On World Environment Day I would like to urge people to stay away from plastics People are still using plastics and that shouldnt be permittedJason Shah Everything in this world is ours and is ours to protect Small initiatives like dont keep the water running while brushing your teeth and switch off the lights and fans when you leave the room Try not to use and throw plastic and be part of small initiatives to help clean upShehzad Shaikh I make sure that I use minimalistic energy I make sure that I dont use any plastic in my life I try to keep my aircondition and carbon emission from my side to the minimum If it comes to short distances up to 2 kilometres I will walk that distance And in the end keep our city clean because we are one of the highly populated countries in the world And one of our leaders also said this That if all of us decide that we arent going to stay in a dirty world so that country will become the most sustaining and cleanest place to live in I hope you are planting a sapling you are putting out a bowl of water for the birds And please try to help the animals because they really need your help more than you possibly thinkAastha Chaudhary Try not to use plastic much do not litter and most importantly plant trees as much as you can Personally I follow these basic rules and aware people around me whenever I travel I always keep garbage bag handy I try to buy products with no paraben sulphate which is very harmful to our mother EarthSachin Parikh My wife and I started going on holidays after our marriage to different places in India We decided that plant trees everywhere we go It could be a small plant or anything but we would definitely do it and we will let it grow When we decided this my wife was pregnant and we decided that further on also our son or daughter whoever comes would continue this tradition We are definitely going to follow this in the upcoming years as well today my daughter who is 8 years old also makes sure we do this wherever we goRajesh Kumar I have a very different take on this day because it is not about celebrating this day and then forgetting about it for the rest of the year It should be an ongoing process The environment is the way you are breathing every moment you are breathing oxygen and you are releasing carbon dioxide I think the relationship with that tree or the plant should be more because what you exhale is what the tree inhales and what tree exhales is the thing which you inhale so there has to be a relationship established between both of you I mean the trees the plants and the environment I think my contribution towards it is always is that right now I planted fifty thousand trees in Mumbai which is just a start and the moment you see a barren land make it a point to go out with your children you go out with your colleagues or your neighbours and plant some seeds I mean instead of planting trees just go and throw the seed If the rain is supposed to happen around that time that seed will become a plantAngad Hasija If I am with someone or with my friends and if they throw something on the road I request them not to throw because I feel very bad if someone litters the streets If I have a tissue or something like that I put it on the side in my car or else I keep the tissue in my pocket and then I throw it in the dustbin If we improve this thing then the environment would become much better Doing it on your own is a big thing I also feel that plants are very important for a fresh environment and at home I have kept some plants like palm trees and indoor plants I like them a lot and I make sure to take care of them tooSubuhi Joshi I believe we should totally stop using plastic at first taking small steps like dividing our garbage in degradable and biodegradable will play a major role in cleaning the environment I prefer using paper bags jute bags And I believe in recycling I also have a small garden at my place and I keep adding a new plant to it every now and thenAniruddh Dave I am a sanitation promoter and I tell everybody on the sets that they should not litter I promote these things and I am a dog lover as well and have given messages to everyone on social networking sites that If your dog poop than you have to scoop So these are the things that people should take care of and I am very keen on the plantation as well and put forward messages for this as well I myself love greenery and plantation even at my home in Mumbai I have a lot of plants I ensure that people on the sets throw coffee and cold drink cups in the dustbin Protecting the environment is a necessity and we as public figure should push the envelopeNishant Malkani I dont waste water and electricity I ensure wet and dry garbage is separated and I am against anyone spitting on road Small small things make a difference Each one of us needs to make an effort for the environment in the age of global warming which is a big issue We should all plant trees rather than cutting it I totally believe in the green revolution Plastic is banned still people are using it Strict action needs to be taken against offendersGaurav Sharma I use my car airconditioner as less as I can whenever possible I walk to small distance and use fans or natural air I have plants in and around my house and I dont let anyone smoke or litter around meRahul Sharma I prefer to walk whenever it is required rather than taking my car out Secondly I always carry a paper bag to carry my waste if I am trekking somewhere so if I have a plastic bottle or a tissue paper I just put it in that bag and I throw that bag into the waste bin I love cycling and do it a lot of time to avoid driving and whenever I go back to my hometown Dausa I plant trees because there are fewer possibilities in Mumbai where I can find the land so whenever I find an open space I just go and plant which can help in protecting our environment so I have done a lot of plantations in my village so thats how I can contribute in this processRehaan Roy To run the life in a healthy happy way we all need a healthy and natural environment People are cutting forests to a great extent for making their home to live securely however they do not think of the problems which arise due to the lack of forests It completely disturbs the natural cycle between environment and life on the earth Because of the overpopulation the number of various chemical elements are increasing in the atmosphere which ultimately causes irregular rainfall and global warming We cannot imagine the negative effects of global warming over the climate and lives of human beings and other living species I personally take various small steps in my day to day life to ensure we live in a better environment I dont use plastic bags I have a small garden in my own home and I try to influence people for afforestation I dont use AC until its really needed I switch off fans and lights when I leave the room I make sure that my locality is clean I throw garbages only in a garbage tank I feel its just that people should start focusing on the problem of the environment of our planet If we all unite and take small steps I think we and our next generations will live in a better environmentCatch up on all the latest entertainment news and gossip here Also download the new midday Android and iOS
