Her words resonate with the urgent need to address the crisis of climate change, pollution, waste, and biodiversity loss caused by plastic pollution.I firmly believe that it is our duty to protect the environment for future generations.

And we need to demand stakeholders to take necessary actions to reduce plastic pollution”, says Vidya Balan.
