International Plastic Bag Free Day, proudly celebrated on July 3rd, serves as more than just a date on the calendar; it is a powerful call to action, urging us to adopt a lifestyle rooted in awareness and responsibility. This day pushes us to reconsider our reliance on convenience and instead embrace choices that safeguard our planet for future generations.
For decades, single-use plastics have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our daily lives, from the bags we use for our groceries to the countless items we deem essential. However, a significant shift is underway. An increasing number of individuals are opting for reusable alternatives, making conscious choices that, while seemingly small, collectively contribute to a substantial positive impact on our environment. In this context, popular actress Nausheen Ali Sardar, who plays the role of Chandrika Singh Chauhan in Zee TV’s Vasudha, reflects on the sustainable habits she has incorporated into her personal lifestyle.
Nausheen Ali Sardar says, “From grocery runs to takeout meals and daily essentials, plastic bags have quietly become a part of our routines. But over time, they have become part of a much larger environmental problem. That is why International Plastic Bag Free Day is such an important reminder: we need to pause, rethink, and make more conscious choices for a better future.”
“Life on set involves carrying a little bit of everything — from makeup to snacks and spare shoes. So, bringing along a backpack feels natural. It is one of the simplest switches we can make, yet its environmental impact is significant. Today, many of us consciously carry our own backpacks on the sets of Vasudha. What began as a small personal effort has grown into a shared habit, and a quiet reminder that even amid the rush of shoot life, we always have the choice to be more mindful.”
