CLIMATE CHANGE STILL NOT CONSIDERED A REAL ISSUE: BHUMI PEDNEKAR

Actress Bhumi Pednekar believes that a lot of people still don’t regard climate change as a real issue.

“Climate change, as a concept, is still not considered 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,” Bhumi said.

She wants every citizen of the country to become a climate warrior and do their bit for the cause. “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. It makes us think towards making environment-friendly life choices,” she said.
