Royal Family News: Prince Charles Praises First Nations People As Stewards Of The Environment

British royal family news reveals that the United Kingdom’s Prince Charles, a long-time environmentalist, dropped some words of wisdom on Tuesday in an interview on BBC radio.

Speaking to Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood he referenced indigenous communities, such as Canada’s First Nations people, saying, “It is high time we paid more attention to … the wisdom of indigenous communities and First Nations people all around the world.”

“We can learn so much from them as to how we can re-right the balance, and start to rediscover a sense of the sacred, because … Mother Nature is our sustainer.”

He added that humans have forgotten they are a part of nature, “or somehow been brainwashed into thinking that we have nothing to do with nature and nature can just be exploited but if we go on exploiting the way we are, whatever we do to nature – however much we pollute her – we do to ourselves. It is insanity.”

During the interview he spoke about the problems wrought by the over-use of chemicals in farming and pollution of the oceans with microplastics.

This year Charles debuted a project intended to make markets more sustainable. The plan finds opportunities for companies and investors to invest in projects that value people and the planet. He added that he has seen the business community do a 180 in regard to the climate crisis.

“Suddenly I noticed in the last 18 months or so, there has been a complete change of approach.”

But that change cannot come fast enough for Charles’ fellow activist, Greta Thunberg who Atwood also interviewed. The Swedish teen activist talked tough when asked about China, Japan and the European Union promising to cut planet-warming emissions to “net zero” by mid-century, saying it, “would be very nice if they actually meant something.”

According to her, there is a huge loophole in the agreement, with the word “net” meaning countries and businesses can offset the emissions they do not slash by paying for reductions elsewhere.

“The emissions have to reduce now if we are to be able to stay in line with the Paris Agreement, which we have signed up to do,” she said, referring to the 2015 global agreement to address climate warming.

Both Thunberg and Atwood expressed hope that U.S. President-elect Joe Biden would bring about a positive change in climate policy.
