Prince Charles To Release Book And Docufilm About The Environment

Britain's Prince Charles is to release a book and documentary warning of the negative impact big businesses are having on the environment. The 60-year-old royal - who is a keen campaigner for green issues - will not be paid for the project, entitled "Harmony," but his charity will receive some of the royalties generated.

The prince said: "I believe that true sustainability depends fundamentally upon us shifting our perception and widening our focus, so that we understand, again, that we have a sacred duty of stewardship of the natural order of things."

"In some of our actions we now behave as if we were masters of nature and, in others, as mere bystanders."

"If we could rediscover that sense of harmony - that sense of being a part of, rather than apart from nature, we would perhaps be less likely to see the world as some sort of gigantic production system, capable of ever-increasing outputs for our benefit - at no cost."
