Bhumi Pednekar turns Climate Warrior

Bollywood actor Bhumi Pednekar is all set to launch a campaign to raise awareness about sustainable living. The campaign will also highlight the work done by tireless environmental activists and citizen groups across India.

New Delhi: Bhumi Pednekar is starting a pan-India campaign Climate Warrior to raise awareness about global warming, conservation and sustainable living.

"Humanity has damaged the climate extensively. It has almost reached a point of no repair and we keep thinking that we have a lot of time... We need to understand that there are massive floods, droughts and forest fires happening. Water is also running out," Bhumi told IANS.

Climate Warrior is a concerted social media and online initiative that the actor will use to engage with people and make them more conscious about climate change and environment-friendly life choices.

The campaign will also highlight the work done by tireless environmental activists and citizen groups across India to bring about sustainable change to the environment.

"I am starting a dialogue where we celebrate anyone and everyone who has taken a stand on climate and environment, and tried to bring about a change. So I am going to be in conversation with them.

The actor will also share fun videos about the small changes that she made in her life to help others take a clue from and think about what one can do to save natural resources. Bhumi also stressed that the change needs to happen now.

The actor, who is gearing up for the release of her next Saand Ki Aankh, added: "Through this initiative, I'm going to work towards bringing a positive social change that's the need of the hour."

On the film front, Bhumi has Bala in November, and Pati Patni Aur Woh in December. She also has Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare in February next year. Karan Johar's Takht is also among the line up of Bhumi's upcoming releases.
