Earth
Day
Network,
the
global
organizer
of
Earth
Day,
announces
Indian
actress
Juhi
Chawla
as
an
Earth
Day
Network
Ambassador
in
India.
In
addition
to
acting
as
a
global
organizer
for
Earth
Day
events,
Earth
Day
Network
works
year-round
to
promote
environmental
action,
with
tens
of
thousands
of
partners
in
192
countries.
The
organization
leads
campaigns
in
global
reforestation,
climate
and
environmental
literacy,
and
biodiversity
protection.
In
her
remarks,
Chawla
said:
“As
an
Earth
Day
Network
Ambassador,
I
will
lend
my
voice
to
encourage
people,
in
particular
my
many
well-wishers,
to
contribute
their
bit
for
a
cleaner,
greener
and
less
polluted
Earth.
The
current
pandemic
is
proof
that
we
cannot
continue
denigrating
the
planet.
It
is
now
time
to
'Restore
Our
Earth,’
the
ongoing
Earth
Day
Network
theme
which
I
think
is
so
apt
to
focus
efforts
on.
I
am
a
committed
environmentalist
and
will
continue
to
do
my
bit
by
promoting
chemical-free
farming,
working
to
get
sports
stadiums
go
single-use
plastic-free,
and
more.’’
Kathleen
Rogers,
president
of
Earth
Day
Network
said:
“On
behalf
of
Earth
Day
Network,
I
welcome
Ms.
Juhi
Chawla
as
our
Ambassador
in
India.
We
are
so
delighted
that
she
has
agreed
to
take
on
this
role.
Ms.
Chawla
has
a
voice
that
is
heard
loud
and
clear
by
millions,
not
just
in
India,
but
across
continents.
Her
role
as
Ambassador
will
definitely
make
a
substantial
difference
in
our
race
to
stymie
uncontrolled
climate
change.”
Karuna
Singh,
regional
director
of
Asia
for
Earth
Day
Network
said:
“Earth
Day
Network
is
very
grateful
that
Ms.
Chawla
is
taking
on
the
role
of
Ambassador.
We
look
forward
to
her
guidance
to
help
build
Earth
Day
Network’s
mission
to
'Restore
Our
Earth.’”
