World Environment Day is observed on June 5 every year to create awareness about a clean and green environment. A few DKP (Directors Kut Productions's) actors spoke about the small things they do on an individual level for a better tomorrow:
Sudhanshu Pandey (Vanraj in Anupamaa): We need to start disciplining ourselves as society.
My family and I practice certain things in our daily life, like starting to segregate
dry and wet garbage. Also, I have taught my kids to not waste water at all. Be
it brushing, or taking a shower, anywhere we are using water we try to use it
only when it's required and not waste it or keep the taps open. We also try to
avoid using plastic as much as we can, because I don't want us to be guilty of adding
the curse of plastic to the environment. These are the three things that we
practice on a regular basis, and though they are very small they can make a
very big change. And if we can do it as a society then we can surely reverse
the situation of our planet.
Parvati Sehgal (Komal in Mann Ki Awaaz
Pratigya 2): Let us be the change we
wish to see in the world. I for one use no plastic bags. I put my drinking
water in stainless steel and copper bottles. Segregation of domestic waste is a
normal in our household. We are now growing tomatoes, cucumber, etc in our
balcony as an initial green measure.
Alpana Buch (Baa in Anupamaa): I would like to use Mahatma Gandhi's quote
"Earth provides enough to fulfill every human's need but not every human's
greed." It's high time we humans realise that environment is no one's
property to destroy, but it's our responsibility to protect. I am proud of
myself and everyone who even in a congested city like Mumbai tries to grow
small house plants at least as their small contribution towards our environment.
I have stopped using plastic and other toxic materials as far as possible. A
small environmental friendly gesture from every individual will surely give a
better environment for our future generations. Let's start doing everything
possible from our side to protect our environment and let's pledge together
that we will not let our mother nature become a 'Once upon a Time'.
Asmita Sharma (Amma Ji in Mann Ki Awaaz
Pratigya 2): I agree that if you don't
go back to nature, you won't be able to lead a healthy life. All those things
that we used to do earlier, like during our grandparents' time, if we start
following them now, then we will surely be able to make a change in our
lifestyle and thus change the environment. There are small things like avoiding
using plastic and aluminum and changing to steel and iron utensils that can
make a big difference. Saving water is another thing that I do. These are some
of the few things that we can do on an individual level and they can make a
bigger difference than one can imagine.
Bhumika Gurung (Meera in Mann Ki Awaaz
Pratigya 2): I wouldn’t say that I've
done it all but yes I contribute less to harm the environment in my own way,
starting off with basic things like saving water, saving electricity, using
less plastic and recycling food waste as a replacement for plants as soil.
These are the things everyone could do and make a bigger change.
