Shilpa Shetty Kundra penned down a beautiful note to emphasise the importance of environment conservation.

"Amid all this, a deadly virus attack has forced us to stay locked up indoors while Mother Nature heals itself. I believe it's time for us to understand how crucial it is to respect what we have been given as a gift. The environment is not ours to destroy. It's time we understood that only when we 'Celebrate Biodiversity' will we lead happier and healthier lives. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's pledge to co-exist with all elements of nature, respect every life around us, and take care of what we have before it's taken away from us.#SwasthRahoMastRaho #MotherNature #BeKind #WorldEnvironmentDay2020 #gratitude #blessed #coexist," she added.
Raveena Tandon said everyone must pledge to protect beautiful planet and wildlife. "Happy #World Environment Day guys! I believe everyday should be environment day and we must pledge to protect this beautiful planet, our wildlife, do water conservation and put an end to deforestation. Why should we express our love just one day of the year, we must take care of our environment and mother Earth everyday. Let's pledge to together make this world a better place for each other," she wrote.
