Happy Earth Day 🌏 Our Earth is our home, It’s one of a kind. It shelters many together, Animals & people with the same love and like. It gives us water , food and a land to walk, It gives us air to breathe and the sun for heat. But what am I doing to protect her? You can save water and plant a tree, Say no to single use plastic and make her free. Recycle your things, Don’t make more trash, We have really abused her ,let’s not be rash. I love you Earth is all I can say, Everyday should be Earth Day :) #HappyEarthDay #EarthDay #ClimateWarrior

“The clear blue and rivers, chirping of birds, animals roaming freely outside and dolphins returning to the beach, it’s a sight to behold amid the lockdown,” says actor Bhumi Pednekar, who feels that though the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the planet to the standstill, the simplest thing that went on is that “the Earth seems to be healing and nature is reclaiming its glory. What better day than World Earth Day to cherish and embrace it?”

A climate-conscious person, the 30-year-old, who is busy learning the science of hydroponics farming lately, confesses that she gets anxiety due to global climate change . And her biggest concern is, she says, is that “post lockdown, people are getting to go crazy by going back to an equivalent rut to catch up all the lost days, to hide up the assembly requirements and stabilize the economy. It’ll be like taking revenge from the climate, harming the environment at double the speed, and pushing our planet to the brink again. I hope this doesn’t happen and that we all learn a lesson from this and prep for any such pandemics.”

What’s more worrisome is that many people, especially the daily wagers, have lost their jobs and are more vulnerable during this situation. “We don’t skill things are getting to be within the future. I do know that when the lockdown is going to be removed, I’m one among those few lucky ones who go to possess the chance to still lead a traditional life but they wouldn’t which is horrifying,” says Pednekar, who finished shooting for Durgavati before the lockdown but her other projects-- Badhaai Ho sequel and Takht are placed on hold.

The actor, who kickstarted a pan India campaign - Climate Warrior to boost awareness on Environmental Conservation and heating, agrees that the “world after COVID -19 wouldn’t be an equivalent because the pandemic has not only forced people to hamper and adapt to the “new normal” but has also “put an issue mark over the survival of the mankind”.

And to fight all this, she feels, “People not only need to occupy the home, maintain social distancing and follow other preventive protocols, but one should also adopt a sustainable way of living and be more compassionate towards the environment also as people working within the frontline.”

It has been an absolute honour to have spoken to Ms. Amla Ruia - who has done leaps and bounds of work in water harvesting in India. In our brief conversation, we spoke about her work across India with water harvesting and how it is the time to reinforce the absolute need and necessity to conserve this natural resource. She is a #ClimateWarrior and a true inspiration !

Whether it's her donation in aid of the COVID-19 relief efforts, is a neighborhood of motivational song Muskurayega India or spreading hope and positivity through her live session with leader Sri Shankar, Pednekar has been extending her support in some ways but she made a conscious decision to refrain from revealing charity amount as “it’s too personal”.

She adds, “Just donating money isn’t the sole thanks to extending support. I make sure that my staff and other people working in my building are well taken care of for the approaching months. And once we examine people not taking note of the medical staff and cops, as actors, we should always come to the fore and speak up and appeal to them to remain indoors.”
