Earthshot Prize

A King in waiting
lends his voice to the planet
doing the right thing

The Earthshot Prize looks at solutions to the challenges our planet faces. Five prizes of £1 million are awarded for five years, this being the second year and the award ceremony will be in Singapore.
The shame about this is that the prize has to exist at all. If Governments around the world were serious about getting out of the mess we’re in they would be funding this kind of research and innovation as part of the ‘day job’. I try to lok on the upside though.
Wait a while

Autumn leaves clinging
yellowing and necrotic

The world in free fall
