Mumbai, March 15 Actress Dia Mirza frequently uses her social media handle to discuss various environmental issues that pose a threat to our future survival.
This time, Dia decided to address how to heal our rivers. The actress, known for her role in "Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein," said that to save our rivers, we must make small changes in our daily habits.
Dia also offered insightful suggestions, such as turning off the tap while brushing, using filtered water to water plants, switching to phosphate-free cleaners, and adding tap aerators.
The actress, known for "Lage Raho Munna Bhai," shared a thought-provoking message on her official Instagram handle, saying, "To heal our rivers, we must change how we live... It starts at the tap: Turning it off while brushing saves up to 12 liters of water every minute. In the kitchen, we can mimic the forest by repurposing "rejected" water from filters to water our plants, ensuring no drop is wasted."
"We must also stop the "white foam" at the source by switching to natural, phosphate-free cleaners like soapnuts. Adding tap aerators reduces our flow by 40%, and fixing a single leak can save 50 liters a day," she continued.
Dia emphasized that by ensuring our rivers are clean, we are securing a lifeline for future generations.
"These small daily acts are the heartbeat of a people's movement—a Jan Andolan. Let the Yamuna and Ganga no longer reflect our waste, but our wisdom. By slowing our water and cleaning our conscience, we ensure these lifelines flow with purity for generations," she concluded the post.
Recently, Dia spoke out against the ongoing environmental degradation in Mumbai.
She pointed out that even her almost five-year-old son understands that "when trees are cut down, we are not just clearing land, we are erasing life."
