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.”

We must transform our relationship with our planet, learning from those already living in harmony with nature and recognizing that we all have a part to play. A better future is possible.”
