Richa Chadha Promotes Environmental Awareness: “I Choose Cotton Over Silk & Leather”

Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has questioned urban development at the cost of the green carpet and raised concern over how the basic human need for water and clean air is becoming a luxury thanks to increasing pollution.

“I feel traumatised seeing how we treat nature. I am not saying this because, now that I am an actress, these are the things I should say. I am one of those people who would always not only wear natural fabric and I choose cotton over silk and leather. I am against a lifestyle that goes against nature. Although I have a luxury car I carpool, which I feel is the logical solution to stay resourceful and control pollution,” Richa told IANS here, at the Mountain Echoes festival 2019.

At the festival, change and how rapid urbanisation was affecting the world’s green carpet, as well as creating the water crisis, were important topics of discussion

On her first visit to Bhutan, Richa was impressed by the clean and peaceful environment of the country. She said that she felt like settling down in Bhutan because the country maintained its natural wealth.
