To mark Earth Day today, Bhumi Pednekar kicks off a nationwide pre-owned clothing collection drive for climate warriors. It aims at putting the environment at the forefront while raising awareness and helping people understand how they can lead more climate-friendly lives.
The initiative involves buying a piece of pre-loved clothing and calculating the estimated water and carbon savings associated with it. "I will be giving pieces from my wardrobe a new life with you, and also launch the Dolce Environmental Footprint Calculator so you can see your real impact by choosing pre-loved," says the actor and climate advocate.
