Actor Bhumi Pednekar is urging the nation to become climate conscious and is looking to bring together the who’s who of the film industry to spread awareness for nature conservation. She is a vocal climate activist and runs her own non-profit initiative called Climate Warrior that celebrates real-life heroes working towards climate change and as an advocacy platform to engage and rally the youth towards this cause. On this World Environment Day, Bhumi is looking to bring more awareness on this burning issue.
“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 happening across the world which people are not even realising. For instance, increase of famines, forest fires, droughts, floods, melting ice caps, increase in sea levels, food and crop getting destroyed, heat waves across countries and continents,” says Bhumi.
The actor says she wants every citizen to become a climate warrior and do their bit for the cause that is threatening our future generations.
Bhumi says, “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.
The campaign endeavours to 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.”
