Parineeti Chopra Instagram – I was privileged to experience my first dive 5 years ago. Since that time, a limitless, beautiful and pristine world has opened up for me. Every 3 months, my heart starts twitching for another adventure. I pick the most beautiful waters of the world, fly there, wear my wet suit and just jump in! However I have seen and felt a change within these 5 years. I visited reefs I have loved before, to see the gorgeousness again, and realised how much had changed. Reefs have bleached and died, resident fish have migrated or disappeared, and what used to be colourful reefs teeming with life are now ghostowns. The speed at which the planet is changing is alarming. And a huge part of the reason is human use of plastic. I have done dives where I have seen Cola cans, plastic bottles and plastic bags lying where there should be beautiful sand. It breaks my heart to know that humans are doing this to their own homes. Voiceless marine animals are dying due to no fault of their own. I urge everyone to STOP THIS. Stop this torture. We can easily live a life without plastic. We are an intelligent race, capable of finding alternatives, and it will make no difference to us!! But this small change will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE to the poor marine animals. MAKE THE CHANGE. Ultimately, we are saving our own home. 💙🌊🐠🐳 @paditv @petaking @homster @scubanees
