CNN is reporting that Prince Charles, the first in line to the British throne is set to release a book and movie on environmental issues.
The project, for release in 2010 will be published by Harper Collins and will be titled, "Harmony". The title comes from Prince Charles' belief that we should live in harmony with the environment. In a statement Prince Charles 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. 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."
The book will be co-authored by former Friends of the Earth director Tony Juniper. Juniper has been outspoken against celebrities who appear to jump on the environmental bandwagon but then not practice what they preach.
The advance fee and a share of royalties will go to the Prince's charitable foundation
