I remember as a young student in boarding school I was taught about how much our earth is suffering due to our style of living... But as I left school and became an actor I somehow lost touch with all these things... But I met Dr Pachauri and that reiterated the belief in me that I can make a difference...<br /><br />"As an actor I have a platform to reach out to the masses and I want to put that to full use. I will continue to spread the message of global warming and educate people about the problems we might face in the future," Abhishek said.<br /><br />The actor also said it is the youth which can bring about a major difference in tackling the issue of global warming.<br /><br />"I believe the youth of our country is very powerful and sure about things it has to do. It is them who can bring about a major difference in tackling these climates issues. I hope the next time we don't need such award functions to highlight the issues of climate but every individual realises his/her responsibilities towards the environment."</p>
