What Eco-Friendly Habits Does Shubhangi Atre Follow on World Environment Day?

Mumbai, June 5 (NationPress) On World Environment Day, ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ actress Shubhangi Atre discussed the straightforward yet effective eco-friendly practices she incorporates into her daily routine.

Among her sustainable habits, she emphasized the significance of reusing water, showcasing how minor efforts can greatly aid in environmental preservation. Atre remarked, “I don’t waste water, and wherever possible, I reuse it. For instance, water used for washing vegetables can be repurposed for watering plants. I also make sure to separate wet and dry waste at home. I avoid plastic use, and when necessary, I ensure proper disposal. I never leave lights or fans running when they aren't needed. These may seem like small actions, but I truly believe that if everyone adopted them, collectively we could create a substantial impact.”

“I plant trees. I have a farmhouse that I built with great affection. I always envisioned an eco-friendly, nature-centric space. I designed and constructed it a few years ago, and I feel it was one of my best decisions. It serves as a quick retreat from the noise and chaos of city life,” she added.

Discussing the necessary actions to safeguard the environment, she stressed the importance of individual accountability. “I believe the most significant changes occur when individuals take small responsibilities seriously. Cleanliness is fundamental. If everyone merely refrains from littering and utilizes dustbins, we would witness a considerable difference. Additionally, families and schools should instill the significance of a clean environment in children from a young age. The government can enforce strict regulations, but genuine change will only materialize when individuals perceive it as their responsibility, not merely someone else's duty. Awareness and habits—that’s our path to change.”

Shubhangi Atre further addressed the pressing reality of global warming, noting its increasingly visible effects. She remarked on how weather patterns have become unpredictable and erratic—unexpected rains, earlier monsoon arrivals, milder winters, and hotter, prolonged summers. Reflecting on her childhood, she remembers a time when the weather was more pleasant and stable. Now, the shifts feel disconcerting, with the air feeling heavier at times. This change is alarming, as it indicates the extent to which human activities have disturbed the natural balance of our environment.

“Celebrities possess a platform that can reach many individuals. When a notable figure advocates for a worthy cause, it prompts people to pause and consider. Fans often admire celebrities and emulate their actions. Therefore, if a celebrity speaks about the environment or is seen engaging in positive actions, it can motivate others to follow suit. I believe it is our duty as public figures to set an example and utilize our platforms for meaningful purposes,” Shubhangi Atre further asserted.

Celebrated annually on June 5, World Environment Day serves as a global platform to elevate awareness and inspire action for environmental protection. This year’s theme underscores the urgent necessity to eradicate plastic pollution.
