In reply to the discussion: Mankind must go green or die, says Prince Charles [View all]calimary
(81,085 posts)4. I'm glad to see this. He's always been kind of a nerd. I greatly appreciate ANYONE
who's famous who uses his/her fame as a platform for good messaging. I hope to see a LOT more messaging on this issue, and by WAY more celebs of all different stripes, beyond just Prince Charles.
