Actress and environmentalist Dia Mirza had an in-depth conversation with Dr. Krithi Karanth, director of Centre for Wildlife Studies, for Harper's Bazaar India's 12th-anniversary edition. The actress, who has always been a champion for environmental rights, had some important points to make about the current climate crisis and steps to secure our futures.
When asked about steps to increase community outreach in order to increase environmental awareness, the actress said, "The level of participation around environment-related actions is higher today than it has ever been. Which means awareness has definitely increased. I feel, in many ways, the pandemic also woke many people up to the urgency of the situation."
Talking about the pandemic and its impacts on environmental justice, the diva said, "I feel, in many ways, the pandemic also woke many people up to the urgency of the situation. "
When Dr. Krithi Karanth asked her what personal changes she has implemented for a better and environmentally sustainable life, the fashionista said, "In my personal life, the first thing I did was making a note of the plastic items I was using, to replace them with more sustainable options. I began by replacing my toothbrush... I didn’t realise how much waste sanitary napkins create, so I replaced them with biodegradable ones..."
Dia Mirza will continue leading the sustainability train at full speed ahead!
