MANILA, Philippines — People who dispose of their litter mindlessly are everywhere and actress Nadine Lustre has shared about how she dealt with one.

“On a RORO atm [at the moment] and I caught someone throw paper and plastic out their van’s window. I picked it up, knocked on the door, and asked the driver to properly throw it in a trash can,” Lustre wrote.

She added, “I don’t think I can forgive myself if I just stood still and let the trash go into the ocean.”

Lustre also offered a reminder, saying “We are part of everything. Everything that we do to harm the earth will, eventually, come back to us, maybe not now but in the future.”

The 25-year-old actress then emphasized the need for teamwork and responsibility to take care of the planet we call “home.”

She wrote, “The universe has been so good to us. We are so lucky to have a home that has everything we need. Let’s be grateful and start taking care of it. Please, please, please let’s all work together. We can do this! All we need is a little bit of responsibility and a whole lot of love.” /cbb
