Bhopal,
(ANI):
Bollywood
actor
Ranbir
Kapoor
rode
a
cycle
here
on
Tuesday
to
spread
awareness
about
the
benefits
of
a
pollution
free
environment.
The
'Green
Planet
Bicycle
Riders
Association',
a
voluntary
organisation
promoting
awareness
of
environment
protection
and
global
warming,
sponsored
the
event.
Kapoor
joined
other
cyclists,
thereby
suggesting
that
others
cycle
at
least
for
short-distances
to
help
save
energy
and
improve
their
health.
"Our
universe
is
going
through
global
warming.
Petroleum
and
other
fuels
are
causing
pollution,
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
protect
our
health,
our
planet
and
to
save
greenery
should
be
done.
I
believe
cycling
is
a
great
mode
of
transportation.
I
completely
encourage
it.
It
not
only
helps
in
maintaining
good
health
but
also
saves
our
planet," said
Kapoor.
Kapoor
was
shooting
for
his
forthcoming
film
Rajneeti
in
the
city.
Film
director
Prakash
Jha
also
took
a
cycle
ride.
"Our
universe
is
facing
the
brunt
of
energy
consumption.
So
I
believe
this
first
initiative
to
promote
greenery
via
cycling
is
a
great
effort.
If
most
of
the
people
would
walk
or
cycle
or
use
no-fuel
consumption
vehicle,
it
would
be
great
help
in
saving
our
planet," said
Jha.
