Dia Mirza being the UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador has always written about environmental issues on social media. She has shown her support, while she also asks whether the ban will work.

Great move but now the question is has the ban been successfully implemented? #singleuseplastics are back with a vengeance. Why? https://t.co/hg7oqMOp5h

Maharashtra was the 21st state in #India to ban single use plastic. We know 'bans' don't work. Because implementation is short lived. BUT People ARE refusing #SingleUsePlastics ??? Can the plastic industry be encouraged to do better? @narendramodi https://t.co/oEIHhNkvmL
