We BLAGGED our way into Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards in Singapore! | Sorted Food 

Load of bollocks

You have to love that man, still fighting to protect and preserve our beautiful planet in any way he can.

@@TheCatWitch63I LOVE his documentaries too

Assuming you ignore the fact that it's false.

Absolutly, and who ever made the video and chose the sound track, combined they all made something just absolutly special

I believe it is because we van feel how much he truly cares about protecting and preserving our planet’s life.

YES! Same! I LOVE THAT MAN! 😊

I don’t tear up every time but I did this time. I can’t imagine a better spokesperson. I just hope he has the same effect on the decision makers of the world.

YOU ARE ALL SO IRONICAL ! HE FEELS COMPLETLY FILLED WITH EVIL ! HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SOOO BLIND ???

I know what you mean, but it’s also on all of us to demand that change. 1 person might not be able to make a difference, but when millions of us club together, that will make a difference.

@SortedFood Let's just hope we're heard this time. It's difficult seeing nothing from the people who are the biggest offenders. Hard to clean up the paint when someone else is still throwing it everywhere yaknow?

​@@SortedFood It sounds very nice but in reality if you just look at the statistics and the numbers (aka money stats...), you see that anything (99%) related to a "let's fight climate change and save the earth" type of idea is pure theatrics

I live in London and nah, Sorted was also the first I’d heard of it. I think it’s a lot of celeb fluff though. I don’t think there’s much here in the way of really getting to grips with the climate crisis - supporting good initiatives without discouraging bad, existing systems erases a very large and important part of the picture. Smacks of the kind of ‘entrepreneurial spirit of the South’ that underpins a lot of philanthropy today.

@@fabe61 It's a different perspective though. There have been many studies done on what emotion people react to best, and it has been proven that many younger people respond to hope better than fear or anger. That is why many entities are focusing more and more on the hopeful positive new perspectives and initiatives in the hope that they will prevail over the older and more harmful practices. Instead of bashing people for what bad things they do know, they try to bring in new better things through hope for the future. I don't know if I explained this well enough, English is my second language, sorry!

Thank you!

Thank you♡ I wondered about that...

😂😂😂

Thank u. I thought they blogged.

They use the word "scabbed" in New Zealand.

Hope will be appropriate when emissions are falling rapidly. They are currently rising We are currently *subsidising* fossil fuels.

Hope is always appropriate. Ignore the cynical comment above. Hope is what gives us strength and courage to keep fighting against the odds. Bless you, and thank you for your beautiful comment. I feel the same as you too - that we need to put more focus on the helpers and healers in the world. ❤

There’s something one of the guys said about sometimes feeling that the little things we do don’t matter, but I believe that everything adds up in the end. I do feel cautiously hopeful, and I’m happy to see so many people committed to making a difference, but I also wish that solutions were embraced and carried out by those whose actions would have the greatest impact.

It's a facade. Millionaire circle jerk.

Blind optimism can only do so much. As long as human still egotistical, we won't win this war

Personal contact is important for networking. I feel it, too, the glitz and pathos of this event (and video) seem very hollow and people flying around the globe for climate conferences/events is contradictory. But there is no other way to travel long distances than fossil driven currently. Regarding this event practically it brought together scientists and businesses from especially the global south with investors, stakeholders and media from the global north. It raised awareness for an important topic and for companies who try to find innovative and social solutions for climate driven problems on the local scale. Imo, in the capitalized and media-driven world we live you could not replace such an event by a zoom meeting and achieve a similar networking effect.

@@dianthus_rubrum thanks for the explanation I didn’t need.

Royals are just parasites and pedos

The power and love in the community is what inspires and allows us to continue! 🎉

@@SortedFood you're amazing guys❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@SortedFood oh and the ton of money you are earning from youtube

​@@petermoore2796 someone sounds jealous 🤐

They flew to singapore with a whole bunch of others just to pat themselves on the back!

​@@tableshaper4076Oh good, I'm not the only one who sees the irony. This whole thing is fueled (pun intended) by fossil fuels.

We went to the Moon less than 10 years from when President Kennedy announced the Moonshot project. We can always do more than we think. We are always stronger together if we just do what we can. Can everyone afford an electric vehicle? No. But can those who rely on gas/petrol do what they can to avoid unnecessary trips? Yes. Imagine how much waste happens because we make 3 trips to the store instead of 1.

Excellent observation! Wondering the same.

My thoughts exactly

Nothing says you care about the environment quite like an unsustainable awards show.

Whole thing smacks of celeb fluff and I get the impression that this came about because there’s enough people who will want to say yes to the ideas of royal/wealthy types. I don’t think this represents a strong engagement with the actual problems that underpin the climate crisis. Supporting positive initiatives is well and good but doing so in such an excessive way without speaking at all to the ways in which things need to change and power taken away from certain interest groups/industries means this feels very hollow. The argument that hope is the best motivator is a very poor one, because you need hope and understanding.

i feal the change's here more then ever last year no snow at all witch is unheard off for here this year so far no snow again and the trees are not on dormad, if a cold snap comes the will die.
