New Delhi: I am happy with the plastic ban, though it is implemented late, but at least we have started the fight against plastics. The plastic ban will only be effective if together we all make a green switch. Let us give a nice future to our children. There are a lot of green alternatives to plastic items, we all just need to identify them,” says Actor Ajay Devgn who today came out to support Maharashtra plastic ban which will come into effect from June 23 with his wife Kajol.
The husband-wife duo was present at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) special exhibition, at the National Sports Club Of India, Worli, to show their support for the state-wide ban on plastic items. Speaking at the event, Kajol highlighted one of the key steps to save the depleting planet is to give up the use of plastics, she said,
One of the first steps to save the environment is to ‘say no to plastics’. The government has done a fantastic job in implementing this ban. We all have to do our bit to save the planet.
