One of

Bollywood

's most talented actresses Shilpa Shetty, who is known for her stellar performances and love for fitness, recently took to social media to share her views on the protection of the Ozone layer. She wrote, “As we all know, the

Ozone layer

is a part of the Earth’s Stratosphere responsible for absorbing most of the UV rays emitted by the Sun. It is the shield protecting the Earth and the life on it. When we abuse the natural and man-made resources available to us, we end up damaging the ozone layer. Saving our planet from the adverse effects of our own actions is our responsibility."


Furthermore, she added, “While a part of the ozone layer has been healing because we’re all indoors, we still have a long way to go. This year, as we celebrate 35 years of the global ozone layer protection, let’s pledge to be mindful of our actions, plant more trees, reduce our

carbon footprint

, and teach our next generations to do the same. The onus of what we leave behind for our future generations is completely on us. Let’s work towards a better tomorrow because we all need Ozone For Life.”

Meanwhile, a few days back, the talented actress also revealed that she has now accepted vegetarianism completely, as she wants to reduce her carbon footprint in the environment. She has commented, ‘Over the years, I’ve realised that cultivating livestock for food, has not only destroyed forests but also been the largest sources of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions. These are majorly responsible for the climate change our planet is experiencing’.
