What the stars said to NDTV viewers at G3

Shah Rukh Khan: I think we cannot remove plastic straight away. We need to learn how to recycle it.

Katrina Kaif: India has a legacy, it has always given the world a lot. Be it in the field of mathematics, culture, food or science. India's contributions are innumerable. This is another place where I definitely feel India can play a very important role. I hope to learn more from this experience which will help me to be a lot more aware of how I can do to conserve nature's bounties.

Priyanka Chopra: We have to remember that we can't keep abusing the environment and EVERY one of us can and should do our bit. I've been reading so much about the issues and also the solutions that I have found that it is actually quite simple to make changes that will have an impact. Turn of lights, car pool, use water judiciously, recycle etc. small things but they make a huge difference. I have started to look at things differently and am constantly requesting my friends team, friends and family to make the effort to make a change.

Shahid Kapoor: I think plastics are a reality of our lives. It's important to think practically and not take things for granted. Greenathon is a great platform to make people aware.

Lara Dutta: Very important I think. People should also have the right access to correct guidance. An educated society is better in every way. (In response to a query on the importance of education)

Rahul Bose: Personally, I never use plastic bags; I always use cloth bags, I've got about 40 of them. I never ask for water in a restaurant unless I want to drink it. I make sure I don't allow them to pour it. Also, all the bulbs of my house have changed to CFL.

Milind Soman: It was one of the motivations of doing the Green Run where we crossed over two states and met people to know their perspective on saving the environment. People of different places have different agendas but it was good to know their perspectives on what needs to be done and that was truly inspirational.

Shabana Azmi: I never let the tap run when I am not using it. Even while switching off appliances I make it a point to disconnect them completely. In any event, we insist on gifting a sapling instead of flowers, so that we give a life back to the earth. I think our little efforts can make a huge difference. It is the only way to improve the situation. We have to use eco-friendly ways.

Usha Uthup: I think we should stand by each other, We're nothing without that. Love is truly everGREEN.

Farah Khan: I think it can start right here on NDTV. We can start with social networking films on how to recycle plastic.
