C
Prince Charles yesterday pledged (承诺) to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule. The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.
The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact (协定) of their activities.
He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, ‘How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap have our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded? How many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities?’ These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked.”
He added, “At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone’s books… Yet they are real, they are happening now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused maybe beyond remedy (补救).” He said the world has “running up the biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid.”
Flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James’s Palace, the prince said his new “accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet.
