Prince Harry lashed out at people who speak out and take no action on climate change in an interview to mark the launch of a new Netflix-style platform for environmental and conservation documentaries.
The 36-year-old Duke of Sussex, who currently resides in a $ 15 million mansion in California, spoke about his passion for nature and Africa during a video interview with WaterBear CEO Ellen Windemuth and Chief of strategy Sam Sutaria.

Every drop of rain that falls from the sky soothes the parched earth. What if each of us were a drop of rain, what if each of us cared? he pondered.

Speaking about his son Archie, now 19 months old, Harry said: ‘Being in nature is the most healing part of life, I really think that is one of the reasons why it is there.
“ But the moment you become a parent, everything really changes because then you start to realize, well what’s the use of bringing a new person into this world when they get to your age and it’s on fire?
We can’t steal their future, that’s not the job we’re here for. I’ve always believed that hopefully we can leave the world in a better place than when we found it, so I really believe that we should take a moment and think hard how we can get what we need and have our desire to build without taking from our children. and generations to come? ‘

“I don’t know what it is, but there is something in the air that ends up running through your blood, and no matter what experience you have, it just takes you back,” he said.
