The royal couple posted a video of people around the world asking in their language to ‘give the earth a shot,’ and get involved with the Earthshot Prize. The caption read, “The world has a great capacity to innovate and persevere to tackle our biggest challenges. This #EarthDay, let’s join together to Give the Earth a Shot.”
The Earthshot prize will be awarded to five different people every year who make a significant effort to achieve environmental change in one of the five major categories. The website states, “Inspired by President Kennedy’s ‘Moonshot’, we’re focusing on five ‘Earthshot’ goals: oceans, air pollution, nature, climate and waste. Starting this autumn, we will award the Earthshot Prize to five winners, one per Earthshot, whose ideas make the most progress towards these goals.”
