Juhi Chawla creates awareness about ill effects of plastic pollution

Speaking at a program of the Rotary Culb in Navi Mumbai, Juhi Chawla wanted to create awareness about the menace of using plastic. Juhi is an actor, entrepreneur and social activist and she said that use of plastic has an alarming effect on not only the society but also in the world.
Unless we put a ban on plastic, our next generation will be threatened with more serious threats than the atom bomb because plastic does not decompose.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 8 January 2017.

Plastics can be seen everywhere from streets, beaches to rivers. Every piece of plastic stays for next one thousand years and, every such item consists of toxic substances. Plastic is poisoning the water and, we are creating cancers for ourselves on a regular basis by consuming food in plastic.
She went on to add that there are islands of plastics in the ocean. In the North Pacific Ocean, islands of floating plastic are almost the size of Africa. She advised people to carry a cloth or jute bag for shopping, to stop using plastic cutlery at parties, or plastic bottles.
