Bhumi Pednekar
Climate warrior Bhumi Pednekar's zeal to better the environment is rubbing off on her neighbours. They are turning their sea-facing high-rise into a fully sustainable living space.
"We don't use plastic bottles. Everyone segregates garbage. I am overjoyed to see how we are contributing towards recycling," informs the actor whose home partly runs on solar power. All this has happened because of Pednekar's green talk with determination and perseverance. "Climate change is upon us and it is real. Through my initiative of Climate Warrior, I diligently try to highlight the seriousness of the crisis and its repercussions," Bhumi said.
Currently, Bhumi is part of Sony BBC Earth's Young Earth Champions initiative. The nationwide contest aims at inspiring young minds of India to think about a better and more sustainable future. Bhumi along with an expert will judge this initiative.
"Young Earth Champions is offering a great platform to trigger an exchange of creative ideas among kids, who have the power to bring about change. I am looking forward to encouraging participation from incredible, young talents and a stimulating discussion about a sustainable future," she added.
