During his recent radio address and his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched a ban against single-use plastic October 2 onwards. Several Bollywood celebrities, too, have supported the Prime Minister's call to ban single-use plastic.

For starters, Karan Johar tweeted his support for the movement and urged everyone to support it too. He tweeted:

Ayushmann Khurrana thanked PM Modi for the initiative and wrote, "Climate change is real and all of us should ensure we do our bit to protect the environment. Thank you Prime Minister @narendramodi ji on urging people to eliminate 'single-use plastic'".
This is what Bhumi Pednekar tweeted:
What we only use for a while lasts forever! It’s a great initiative started by our PM @narendramodi. We need to stop the use of single-use plastic. https://t.co/grCMx2qbAS

Earlier this year, Salman Khan, too, imparted an important message about banning single-use plastic. The actor had shared a video of him offering a monkey some water, and he called the monkey his 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. The monkey, however, turned down the water after which Salman offered it to him in a glass, which the monkey accepts.
"Hamara bajrangi bhaijaan plastic ki bottle se paani nahi peeta (Our Bajrangi Bhaijaan does not drink water from a plastic bottle)," Salman captioned the video.
