The United Kingdom is no stranger to environmental concerns.
The Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, leading to manufacturing complexes emitting dangerous fumes with toxic particles.
Such particles in the air leads to smog.
Smog became an issue as early as the start of the 19th century.
The king has also lowered the temperature in the heated pool at Buckingham Palace.
At Clarence House, the king and queen’s home near Buckingham Palace, the king added solar panels.
He even repurposes bath and waste water for his gardens.
All of these are measures to minimize the energy consumption of theroyal residences.
However, the king’s efforts reflect financial awareness as well as environmental.
Taxes from the British public literally keep the lights on at Buckingham Palace.
He first brought up the topic in a speech way back in 1970.
Pollution continues to cause premature deaths in the United Kingdom.
However, efforts to improve the environment are not hopeless.
The society does not want the change to stop here, but rather remain cautious regarding climate change.
