"I want to say this loudly to everyone that we are in the middle of a crisis. We have to act now and act immediately to save our planet and we have to move towards using renewable sources of energy which is clean for the environment. We are not realising the potential threat that lies ahead of us if we don't address climate change in a big way. Over the last few years, I have realized that climate change is real and it is happening at a crazy speed. And we need to do something about it today, right now and that is why I started 'Climate Warrior'."

She also warns people to take the necessary steps before it is too late.
