Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio shows his concern for the current water crisis plaguing Tamil Nadu in India, while educating his fans on climate change
Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio is nowadays sharing, posting and also educating his fans and followers on climate change, which is currently affecting the world.
Recently, he shared two posts on his Instagram where we can see him talking about India and its problems, which are affecting the environment and its people.
Two days ago, he shared a video where we can see how garbage dump in India is affecting animals, people, and the air. He wrote, "65 metres high and rising 10 metres every year. #india #tajmahal #environment #pollution #health (SIC)."
The video is an eye-opener, where some critical data have been shared. Take a look.
In another post, he shared an image where many women are surrounding a well in the hope of fetching water. He captioned the image saying, "Only rain can save Chennai from this situation."
“A well completely empty, and a city without water. The southern Indian city of Chennai is in crisis, after the four main water reservoirs ran completely dry. The acute water shortage has forced the city to scramble for urgent solutions and residents have to stand in line for hours to get water from government tanks. As the water levels have depleted, hotels and restaurants started to shut down temporarily, and the air con was turned off in the city's metro. Officials in the city continue to try and find alternative sources of water - but the community continue to pray for rain. Tap the link in our bio to read more about Chennai's water crisis.

Both the information are provided by BBC, which the actor shared on his account.
If you remember, during his speech at the Oscars in 2015, when he received his first golden lady for his role in The Revenant, he gave a speech on climate change, which when viral then.
"I just want to say this: Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow," the actor had said.
The Hollywood star went on to add, "Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed."
