LONDON: In the battle against climate change, everyone can do a little.
For Prince Charles, the heir of the British throne, it could be anything from ditch milk for one day a week to fill 51 years old Aston Martin with some English white wine surplus.
Charles told BBC radio in a broad interview that was broadcast on Monday that world leaders need to do more than “talking” when they gather in Scotland’s biggest city, Glasgow, from the end of this month for the UN climate summit, which is known as COP26.
Summit, which is scheduled for October 31, October 12, is being billed by many environmental lovers as the last chance of the world to change the battle against climate change around.
Charles said leaders must record the despair of many young people felt their future, adding that he understood the “frustrated” of the climate campaign group such as rebellion rebellion that had reaped protests and blocked the road.
“The difficulty is, how do you direct it frustration in a more constructive way than damaging,” he said.
Charles, who have talked about climate and environmental problems for about 50 years and long before becoming fashionable, said they had taken “too long” for the world to seriously consider the climate crisis.
Charles will attend a series of events at COP26, along with other big names in the royal family including his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as well as her eldest son of Prince William and William’s wife, Kate, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.
In an interview, what happened in Prince George’s wood, a Charles Arboretum had created in his home garden at Balmoral Estate in Aberdeenshire, he also discussed his own efforts to reduce his carbon footprint.
“I haven’t eaten meat and fish on two days a week and I don’t eat dairy products on one day a week,” he said.
“If you do that, you will reduce a lot of pressure.” He also said he had changed his car, Aston Martin he had had for five decades, to run what he described as “white wine surplus and whey from the cheese process.”
