Mommy
Bloggers
said,
"We
as
parents
are
responsible
for
our
kids'
well-being
and
as
humans
responsible
for
the
well-being
of
our
planet.
The
pandemic
has
made
us
realize
many
things
with
the
most
important
one
being
that
we
need
to
care
for
Mother
Earth!
We
don't
have
to
do
big
things,
we
have
to
do
small
things
but
have
to
do
it
together.
I
am
so
grateful
for
all
the
amazing
like-minded
parents
who
have
come
together
to
spread
this
powerful
and
important
message.
I
hope
everyone
who
watches
this
chooses
to
make
their
own
pledge
too."
Tusshar
Kapoor
said,
"I
agreed
to
be
part
of
this
initiative
to
pledge
my
support
for
our
planet,
simply
because
I'm
very
passionate
about
saving
animals
from
cruelty
and
firmly
believe
that
humankind
must
protect
the
biodiversity
of
the
planet
in
order
to
protect
themselves!"
"It's
a
wonderful
message
that's
told
at
the
most
perfect
time.
With
the
current
situation
we
all
are
in,
there
couldn't
be
a
better
time
to
spread
this
message
"A
new
world",
when
we
as
parents
need
to
secure
a
safe
healthy
future
for
our
children
to
live
in
and
most
importantly
it's
the
small
things
that
matter
the
most!
So,
start
today
in
your
own
little
way
and
make
it
happen
Now!
Let's
enjoy
and
nurture
our
planet!" added
Esha
Deol.
Karan
Johar
said,
"All
of
us
are
very
proud
parents,
we
all
love
our
children.
And
it's
very
integral
that
we
give
them
all
the
love,
the
attention
and
the
care.
We
also
really
make
their
home
feel
beautiful,
we
make
them
love
their
home,
we
make
them
feel
like
home
is
where
the
heart
is.
But
we
sometimes
miss
the
point,
we
sometimes
pretend
that
their
home
is
just
their
residence,
but
that's
not
true.
Our
planet
is
also
our
home.
There
are
few
things
that
I
have
done
with
my
kids
at
a
very
young
age
apart
from
the
emotional
encouragement
that
one
has
to
always
give
them
about
making
sure
that
they
don't
fall
into
stereotypes.
The
other
thing
that
I
do
is
I
tell
them
about
plastic,
single-use
plastic
and
about
how
it's
important
not
to
consume
single-use
plastic,
because
you
know
that
it's
a
big
deterrent
to
our
planet
and
we
must
be
very
careful.
So,
say
no
to
plastic
is
the
one
thing
that
I've
been
actually
inculcating
within
their
sensibility"
"Apart
from
all
the
other
conscious
work
that
we
are
doing,
I
also
pledge
that
we
continue
buying
wooden
toys
for
our
daughter
Mehr,
try
and
keep
her
away
from
plastic
toys
as
much
as
we
can.
And
more
importantly,
we
are
totally
open
to
hand
me
downs.
Mehr
has
got
a
lot
of
friends
who
are
six
months
or
a
year
older
and
we
believe
in
hand
me
down
toys,
clothes,
books,
all
of
it.
It's
great
on
the
pocket
and
more
importantly,
it's
very
good
for
the
environment.
We
are
doing
our
little
bit
and
I
think
you
guys
should
do
yours
too
just
so
that
our
planet
can
accommodate
our
beautiful
children
in
the
future",
added
Neha
Dhupia.
Soha
Ali
Khan
also
said,
"I
pledge
to
use
a
reusable
water
bottle
with
me
every
time
I
step
out
of
the
house
instead
of
buying
plastic
bottles
because
I
care
about
the
future
of
our
children
and
our
grandchildren
on
our
planet".
