World Environment Day is a reminder to care for our planet: Sheetal Maulik
Sheetal Maulik, TV actress who is essaying the role of Priya in Meri Bhavya Life feels the need for unity to protect nature and build a cleaner, greener future because "a healthy Earth begins with us," she says, adding, " World Environment Day is observed on June 5, serving as a reminder for all of us to care for our planet."

"For instance, ditching plastic bottles and opting for reusable ones can reduce plastic waste and pollution. Similarly, using public transport, carpooling, or cycling can decrease air pollution and carbon emissions ," she says. Sheetal, who has worked in shows like Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka, Suhaagan, Deewaniyat says, "Reducing meat consumption, using energy-efficient appliances, and recycling can also contribute to environmental conservation. By incorporating these habits into our daily lives, we can collectively mitigate the damage and work towards a more sustainable future." Shifting the onus on human beings to understand the issue, she says, "People fail to understand that our body's internal environment is as important as is the external.
