Young
Bollywood
star
Bhumi
Pednekar's
Climate
Warrior
advocacy
initiative
has
been
putting
the
environment
at
the
forefront
while
raising
awareness
and
helping
people
understand
how
they
can
lead
more
climate-friendly
lives.
And
this
Earth
Day,
Bhumi
has
taken
it
to
the
next
level,
with
a
novel
way
for
individuals
to
contribute
to
significant
environmental
conservation
in
a
simple
and
practical
way,
while
also
seeing
their
tangible
impact.
Joining
hands
with
preloved
thrifting
store
Dolce
Vee
(from
the
social
enterprise
platform
SaltScout),
Bhumi
has
launched
the
Dolce
Vee
Environmental
Footprint
Calculator.
For
the
first
time,
when
you
buy
a
piece
of
preloved
clothing,
you
will
also
be
able
to
see
the
estimated
water
and
carbon
savings
associated
with
it.
And
numbers
are
real.
For
instance,
the
most
recent
pair
of
jeans
they
processed
saves
an
estimated
1826
litres
of
water,
which
is
about
as
much
as
a
person
drinks
in
a
year,
and
an
estimated
4
kg
of
carbon
dioxide
or
equivalent
greenhouse
gases,
which
is
roughly
equivalent
to
driving
a
car
for
23
km
-
all
from
buying
that
single
pair
preloved
over
newly
manufactured.
Bhumi
is
leading
by
example.
She
will
go
live
on
her
social
media
platform
for
an
interactive
session
to
give
her
fans
a
live
demo
of
how
the
calculator
works,
and
fans
will
be
able
to
send
in
information
on
their
clothing
for
a
live
on-the-spot
assessment
of
the
Water
and
Carbon
statistics
associated
with
their
own
pieces!
What's
more,
Bhumi
will
be
wearing
a
preloved
piece
during
the
session
herself.
And
in
the
first
nationwide
call
to
action
of
its
kind,
Bhumi
has
made
it
easy
for
everyone
to
contribute
and
be
Climate
Warriors.
"On
Earth
Day,
I
will
be
giving
pieces
from
my
wardrobe
a
new
life
with
you,
and
also
launch
the
Dolce
Vee
Environmental
Footprint
Calculator
so
you
can
see
your
very
real
impact
by
choosing
preloved," says
Bhumi.
She
adds,
"Everyone
can
be
a
Climate
Warrior
with
this
initiative.
If
you
have
good
condition
clothing
and
accessories
that
you'd
like
to
share,
you
can
donate
them
for
a
charity
sale
too!
Just
DM
on
the
Instagram
handle
@dolceveelove,
and
we
can
sort
out
doorstep
pick
up
from
you,
wherever
you
are
across
India.
What's
more,
you
will
even
be
given
an
estimate
of
the
water
and
carbon
savings
arising
from
your
contribution."
Bhumi's
Climate
Warrior
initiative
had
an
organic
synergy
with
Dolce
Vee,
as
a
brand
focused
on
sustainability.
Founder
Komal
Hiranandani
says,
"Bhumi's
commitment
towards
environmental
conservation
is
genuine
and
untiring.
We
couldn't
be
prouder
to
work
with
her
for
this
launch.
She
is
a
true
leader
in
showing
us
how
we
can
come
together
to
take
steps
-
both
big
and
small
-
to
protect
nature,
and
is
constantly
seeking
to
lead
the
way
forward."
