Tahira’s five tips to stay in sync with nature are: Disposing trash in a dustbin instead of throwing it around

Gardening and growing veggies at home Saying no to plastic No hoarding groceries during these trying times Going green by including a lot of veggies in our everyday diet since it benefits both, the environmen­t and one’s health.

Lastly, she encourages people to cleanse their mind and internal self because we are who make the environmen­t. The Toffee filmmaker said in a statement: “Seeing the current situation and the world we are living in right now, it’s pretty much the reflection of the causes that we have created in the past. We have a tendency to think that we and the environmen­t are two different entities but I feel it’s time we realise that our environmen­t and we are one. In order to have a better future, devoid of global warming, floods, viruses and cyclones, we need to make the correct causes in our present. This is why I thought to share these quick tips that are very doable. It’s something that each one of us can accomplish.”
