Mumbai, Jun 06 (ANI): Bollywood celebrities planted trees to spread awareness for a greener environment in Mumbai on the occasion of World Environment Day. Actresses Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Juhi Chawla were seen planting trees near the city’s popular Sea Link area. Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan was also spotted at an event, which was aimed at creating awareness about healthy and clean environment. A 2015 report by the state-run Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) said Indian cities produced more than 15,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day. Of this, 9,000 tonnes were collected and processed, while the rest littered the streets and drains, or were dumped in landfill. About two-thirds of the plastic waste was a mix of polythene bags and food packaging, mainly from residential areas.
