Bhumi Pednekar
Bhumi Pednekar, an active climate warrior, has been relentlessly doing her bit to protect the environment. After implementing a zero-waste and zero-plastic policy on the set of her upcoming film Badhaai Do, the actor has now joined forces with Anirudh Sharma for a digital campaign that aims to reduce carbon footprint in the country. Sharma is the co-creator of Air-Ink, founded by Graviky Labs, which uses hazardous particulate matter in the air and turns it into ink.

Graviky began as a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab experiment that saw a tool being created to capture the soot from a burning candle. Taking the experiment forward, Sharma invented a device that captured the carbon-based gaseous effluents generated by air pollution and converted them into safe, water-based inks, paints and coatings that can be used for packaging and apparel printing. Believing that this will be a significant step in curbing pollution, Pednekar says, “Anirudh Sharma is a climate warrior and a cool inventor. His innovation has spread to various artiste and scientist communities, and he has some fantastic ideas with Air-Ink.”
