The actress says, “We have to understand that climate change is real and we are in the middle of a crisis. I want to say this loudly to everyone that we are in the middle of a crisis. We have to act now and act immediately to save our planet and we have to move towards using renewable sources of energy which is clean for the environment.

Bhumi adds, “Over the last few years, I have realized that climate change is real and it is happening at a crazy speed. And we need to do something about it today, right now and that is why I started climate warrior. The idea is to create a platform where we can discuss, create awareness, use my social media handle to kind of have a positive upliftment in the society through my handles that is exactly what I am doing in Climate Warrior. The idea is to have more climate warriors like me because we really need to start speaking up about this.”
