April 22, 2022, marked World Earth Day, and in a conversation with ETimes actress Dia Mirza bared her heart out on how she always opted for sustainable options for her newborn, Avyaan. The Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein actress revealed that she does not use plastic diapers, bottles or even toys for her son. Elaborating on how she has kept her home a plastic-free zone, Dia stated:

"For Avyaan, we use diapers made from natural materials with no plastic in them. We've managed to identify and bring home glass bottles and everything else we use has no chemicals. Even the clothes we use are from sustainable brands. In some time, we will make a switch to cloth diapers when he is potty trained. We have also not bought any plastic toys whatsoever. Everything he has is made with cloth, crochet or wood. We also asked our friends and families not to give him things that contain the materials that we don't allow."

Further going into the interview, when Dia mirza was referred to as a superwoman for raising environmentally conscious kids, she shared some adorable anecdotes about how her baby boy, Avyaan, enjoys touching flowers and leaves, and watching sunset and birds. In her words:

"It is so important, right? One of the things I make it a point to do is make him spend time in nature. Take him to the garden to give him a sensory feel. Make him stand on the wet grass, and touch the leaves and flowers, he enjoys watching birds and watching the sunset with me. I hope this contributes to the abiding love that I hope he can form with the natural world. This is something I had read many years ago and I am now trying to inculcate it in my children."

In the same interview, Dia mentioned that her stepdaughter, Samaira was exposed to different practices since childhood. Therefore, it would be difficult for her to follow environmentally friendly ways of life. However, Samaira has been studying nature in school, and Dia hopes she will adapt to the changes soon. She said:

"For Samaira, I can't control the exposure she has had until now, but she has been studying environmental issues in school. At home, she watches me work, the way I speak and the choices I make. All of that is making her more conscious. Has she given up the usual things she plays with entirely or changed her consumption patterns? Not entirely, but I hope we can get there someday. That will be a personal triumph for me. With Avyaan, it is the march of the penguin or so they say, so hopefully, he will see, learn and inculcate."
