On the other hand, breaking up with plastic straws and bottles, actor Ali Fazal M added, ‘Can’t even find my ex – plastics anywhere close to me.

Saying no to single use plastics.’ The actors are the new members of the ‘Break-Up’ brigade, an initiative that was started by actor Dia Mirza and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) ahead of Valentine’s Day, in a bid to address the global challenge of plastic pollution that is chocking our planet and oceans.

Thanking Dia Mirza for the campaign, Aditi Rao Hydari and Ali Fazal M added,

Thank You Dia, for this wonderful initiative. May we find ourselves free of toxins soon!

Here are their posts

According to United Nations, in the year 2050, there will be more plastic in oceans than fishes unless people stop using single-use plastic items and littering the planet with it. In her war against plastic, Dia Mirza made a plea to everyone,

I urge everyone to give up the toxic relationship with plastics and find a new love. Break up with your plastic bag, replace it with a cloth bag, break up with your plastic straw, replace it with a bamboo, metal or a glass straw, break up with your plastic toothbrush, replace it with a bamboo toothbrush, break up with a ear bud, replace it with a bamboo ear bud. Cups, mugs and bottles, have all replaceable alternatives, you just have to find your new love.
