Prince Albert II of Monaco Talks Green, and What Everyone Can Do

Prince Albert II of Monaco is actively involved in conservation of the environment, and the Prince Albert II Foundation has 127 projects in various countries, dedicated to working towards renewable energy and access to water, and also fighting threats like desertification, loss of biodiversity and climate change.

The Prince recently went on record saying that the society should give up its obsession with consumption and consumerism, and that we should all take time to reflect on how are actions and daily life affect our world. Prince Albert said that people should do whatever is within their resources to work of the cause of the environment.

Whenever possible, or feasible, people could contribute with things like money, time, resources, or even inspirational acts, deeds, songs or words. Coming from a prince, these words do have a lot of weight, and perhaps point to a future where the leadership, both international and national, will be willing to invest resources for the environment, seriously and apolitically.
