    Digital Desk: Jackie Shroff has established himself as the face of the environmental movement by donning a spider plant necklace, giving away saplings, and urging people to plant trees in his unique way.

    Ped lagana, sabka kaam hai. Nahi Lagana To Maro Jal Ke - You better believe it. Jackie, also known as Captain Planet on social media, talks to us about his special talents, protecting the environment, and more in between watering plants and in advance of World Environment Day. Excerpts:

    It is "Akal ka daant thoda late aya."

    Around three years ago, Jackie appeared in a video that has now gone viral.

    The actor is seen in the video talking with the journalists at a tree plantation drive. He tells them, "Jhaad laga ke koi upkar nahi kiya." He responds, "Jo cheez humko zinda rakhti hai, usko humein zinda rakhna hai," when asked what made him so vocal about planting trees. Akal ka daant mereko thoda late aya, par. In the past, we would save the seeds from the fruits we consumed. Even if we were to travel over the entire world.

    We would feel like cultivating it ourselves when we discovered something wonderful.

    When we were kid, we would grow plants in the schoolyard, including mirchi, methi, and ek hafte bad usko badha hua dekh ke achha lagta tha. Therefore, education has always been around. Just occasionally, we let ourselves stray from it. I enjoy being active in farming, tree planting, and message dissemination. My preferred method of interacting with nature is by watering my plants while standing barefoot outside. -
    In other words, "Apne bachhe aur unke baccho ke liye karna hai sab."

    Jackie explains that in addition to schools, families also must teach children about the environment.

    I encourage children to plant at least one tree on their birthdays when I visit schools. It's important to educate children about this at home as well. A family should talk about plants and the environment. Aisi achhi baatein karte raho, apna responsibility hai, jab tak zinda hai. Even though many people talk about climate change and turning green, very few make these changes. We should.

    Be mindful of these issues to prevent suffering for future generations.

    Unke bachhe ke liye ye karna hai, apne ko apne bachhe. The Earth is our family, and we need to care for it like a lovely garden, he says.
