His Royal Highness Prince of Wales

HRH The Prince of Wales has been a supporter of sustainable practices for many years. From ethical business to fair farming, social justice to rainforest protection, his charities unite under a common banner of decency, balance and respect for one another and our environment. In 2007, HRH launched the annual Eco-Rally at Hampton Court Palace.

In 2009, Prince Charles was invited to deliver the annual Dimbleby Lecture. In this address, he explained why it is essential and urgent that the peoples of the world adapt their behaviour to mitigate the effects of climate change.

This message is now a familiar one to us all. But until now, much of the environmental advice has focused on what we shouldn't be doing. While the Start Initiative supports many of the excellent campaigns to cut our emissions - they feel that the emphasis shouldn't only be on stopping, but starting!

The 2011 Bridgestone Eco-Rally event is in collaboration with Start- a national initiative by The Prince's Charities Foundation to promote and celebrate sustainable living and to show what a more energy efficient, cleaner and healthier future could look like.
