Actor Bhumi Pednekar's war against climate change
Amritsar: A talented actor and now a climate warrior, Bhumi Pednekar (in pic right) has spent last one year crusading for adopting environment-friendly lifestyle. The Saand Ki Aankh actor, who has been promoting her social media initiative Climate Warrior, has collaborated with several NGOs and civil society initiatives to promote healthy, clean and planet-friendly habits.
Bhumi was in Amritsar on Thursday to speak at an event ‘We are all climate warriors’ by FICCI FLO city chapter. Apart from sharing her bits about the change that we desire and can bring about for saving the further deterioration of the planet, Bhumi acknowledged the efforts of local climate warriors.
“It’s a subject very close to my heart and about a few years ago, I consciously decided to adopt a cleaner, greener lifestyle by bringing about small changes in my own habits and daily routine. Like carrying my own water bottle or cutlery to avoid using single-use plastic or being mindful of my surroundings and animal habitat. The efforts towards sustainable lifestyle can be small yet significant, as every bit counts,” she said.
She also spoke about extreme weather conditions that the world has witnessed over the year. “These reports and studies being conducted by environment researchers must raise our concerns. We need stricter laws and treat every aspect of our planet literally as a living being. People must fear the consequences of their actions that involve the abuse of any of our natural resources,” she said. — TNS
