Bhumi Pedenkar has been asking people constantly to become climate-conscious. The actress is planning together to bring everyone in the industry together for spreading awareness about conserving nature. She is a vocal climate activist and runs a non-profit organization named Climate Warriors.
The organization celebrates real-life heroes who are working towards climate change and is an advocacy platform for rallying and engaging the country’s youth towards the cause. On the occasion of World Environment Day, the actress wants to bring more awareness on the climate issue.
The actress said “Climate change, as a concept, is still not considered as a real issue today by a lot of people. There are such varied and grave climatic issues that are happening across the world which people are not even realising like increase of famines, forest fires, droughts, floods, melting ice caps, sea levels increasing, food and crop getting destroyed, heat waves across countries and continents, etc.”
Bhumi said that she wants everyone across the country to become a climate warrior and contribute to the cause which can prove to be threatening for our future generations. She said,
“Climate Warrior is an initiative that is very close to my heart. It aims to focus on awareness building and engaging with the youth across India so that we become more conscious of our climate and environment, to encourage passionate advocacy for its conservation and protection and makes us think towards making environment-friendly life choices.”
She had further added, “For World Environment Day, Climate Warrior is starting a small campaign – One Wish For The Earth. At this time and in this current scenario, there are many issues that the world is facing as an impact of the climate crisis. What our campaign endeavours to do is get thought leaders from my industry to tell the world what is the ‘one wish they have for the earth’. I can’t wait to share their thoughts to make the Earth a better place. Let’s pledge for climate justice and let’s unite to save our planet.”
The actress will be next seen in Mr. Lele featuring Varun Dhawan and Karan Johar’s multistarrer project Takt.
