World Environment Day 2025: This planet is our home, not just a backdrop for Instagram, says Amit Sadh
Amit Sadh For Amit Sadh , World Environment Day isn't just another date on the calendar — it's deeply personal. 'The day falls on June 5, which also happens to be my birthday. It's also a reminder that this planet's on rent, and we're all tenants,' says the actor and travel enthusiast. It's this perspective that shapes how he approaches the day. He says, 'If I'm not working, I usually spend it unplugged — no fancy posts, just getting my hands dirty planting trees or cleaning a trail. We all need to focus on small acts that make a big impact.' 'Wherever I go, I see single-use plastic littering up the place' He has long been a vocal advocate against single-use plastics — a stance that didn't develop overnight. 'Wherever I go, I see single-use plastic littering up the place. Solo cups, chips packets, chocolate wrappers — it's everywhere,' he says, adding, 'It all started when I saw this mess on a trail or by a roadside dhaba and thought, enough is enough.' 'I'm that guy with the steel bottle, cloth bags and no excuses' Amit's mantra is simple, and he walks the talk. He shares, 'Aapki chocolate, aapka wrapper, aapki zimmedari! I'm that guy with the steel bottle, cloth bags and no excuses. I believe small steps add up. The planet's not going to clean itself — we've all got to do our bit.' Despite being vocal, he doesn't see himself as someone lecturing others. He clarifies, 'Look, I'm no preacher. I just share my journey — photos, videos and small wins. When we camp, we clean up after ourselves and even pick up the garbage left behind by others.' 'Be a guest, not a pest' As an avid mountaineer and biker, Amit has seen some of nature's most pristine corners and how they're being affected by irresponsible tourism. 'Travel is a privilege,' he emphasises, adding, 'I always say — leave no trace, take your trash back, respect the locals, and don't treat nature as just a backdrop for selfies. Be a guest, not a pest.' Reflecting on his travels, he says, 'Every time I ride or climb, I see two things — majestic landscapes and the mess we leave behind. That contrast hits hard. It's why I talk about it, and why I pick up trash when I see it. It's not a heroic act — it's just necessary.' 'I treat every trail, mountain, or beach like a home that deserves respect' These experiences have strengthened his message. He asserts, 'Nature's not a backdrop for Instagram; it's our lifeline. I try to treat every trail, mountain, or beach like a home that deserves respect. I share these stories through my socials and YouTube channel, hoping it sparks a change, maybe one person picks up that wrapper or refuses that plastic bottle and teaches the next. That's all I'm hoping for.' When asked about one mindset he'd like to see change globally, Amit, who has been part of films like Kai Po Che!, Sultan, and Gold, says, 'To stop seeing nature as just 'a place to visit' and start treating it like our only home. Because that's exactly what it is. When you see it as your home, you care for it. You protect it. And hopefully, we give it a future we can be proud to pass on to the next generation.' While he has witnessed troubling changes in nature during his expeditions, he remains hopeful. 'Forest services are collaborating with locals and spreading awareness. Mahila Mandals are working closely with the government on conservation efforts. There's a lot of good work happening,' he signs off.
