Fight Climate Change

Prince Charles has once again put his voice behind a new campaign to highlight the problems of deforestation. In the video The Prince of Wales tells us that climate change is a major threat to mankind and that we must act now to try and save The Rain Forest. According to the clip deforestation is taking place at the rate of one football pitch every 4 seconds.

To help highlight the issue a number of actors, including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Robin Williams, Prince Harry and Prince William, Kermit the Frog and an animated frog are all voicing their support.

An official website – The Prince’s Rainforests Project explains the project in more detail. You can also register your details to receive more news and offer your support. To help spread the word you can also create your own frog video. Simply upload a photo and send it your friends!

For schools there’s also a special section which includes lesson plans and activities for you to download.

At a time when recession and swine fever are the main topics on the daily news, it’s good to see the issue of climate change isn’t being forgotten. Systematically destroying the very things that absorb CO2 at a time when we’re all supposedly looking for ways to reduce emissions seems totally insane.
