Actress advocates upcycling, thrift shopping, and eco-friendly habits for a sustainable future.
Actress Bhumi Pednekar, a passionate social cause supporter and environmentalist, has recently laid the focus on sustainable fashion at an environmental conclave. One of the biggest supporters of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Bhumi has been using her voice since day one to spread awareness about living sustainably. At the conclave, while speaking at length, Bhumi opened up about her personal life and underscored the importance of a shift in consumption patterns, particularly fashion.
Bhumi expressed in desperation the way slight changes in consumption can make a large difference and said, "Consumption patterns need to shift. Upcycle, reuse, and recycle – it's in Hindustani culture!" She described how she maintains sustainable fashion through reworking clothes, vintage shopping, and thrift shopping. Bhumi also revealed that she wears the same outfit again and again, whether at social outings such as exhibitions or even at friends' weddings. This is one style that not only helps prevent wastage but also goes against the fast-fashion culture that contributes to overconsumption.
Other than fashion, Bhumi also talked about her home composting activities, asking everyone to adopt green measures in their lives as well. According to her, sustainability does not have to be expensive or difficult, and small actions actually do go a long way in decreasing one's carbon footprint.
Her statements reflect a growing shift toward mindful consumption in India, where more people are adopting sustainable fashion practices. Bhumi’s efforts align with her broader environmental advocacy, showing that sustainability can be easily integrated into both personal and professional life. Bhumi continues to inspire her fans with her eco-conscious choices and remains committed to promoting a greener, more sustainable future.
