LONDON (UK) – The pandemic is a rebuke from Mother Nature, hinted Prince Harry, urging more action to tackle the issue of climate change.
He was speaking about the environment with the CEO of a streaming platform for documentaries focussing on the climate.
“Somebody said to me at the beginning of the pandemic, it’s almost as though Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms for bad behaviour, to really take a moment and think about what we’ve done,” the prince said.
He said how interconnected all people were and not just as people, but through nature. “We take so much from her and we rarely give a lot back.”
After relinquishing their roles as working members of the royal family at the end of March, both Harry and his wife Meghan, shifted to California in the US and have spoken on issues such as race and the environment.
Harry exhorted people to imagine themselves as being a raindrop to help repair the earth. Earlier, he had come under fire for his use of private jets.
“Every single raindrop that falls from the sky relieves the parched ground,” he said. “What if every one of us was a raindrop? If every single one of us cared? We do, because we have to, because at the end of the day nature is our life source,” the prince said.
