Where there’s a will - Price Prediction

As a lifelong cinema enthusiast with a soft spot for documentaries that bring about change, I wholeheartedly recommend adding “The Earthshot Report” to your watchlist. Having witnessed countless films that have left me feeling inspired and hopeful, this series resonates deeply with my belief in the power of storytelling to spark change.

Add The Earthshot Report to your watchlist

Four years ago, when the Prince of Wales established the Earthshot Prize, he was troubled by the high levels of environmental concern among young people. Fearing it might foster apathy, sadness, and a sense of powerlessness, he aimed to counteract this despondent feeling by facilitating the restoration and rejuvenation of our planet.

The Earthshot Prize came into being; its purpose – to stimulate a movement focused on environmental innovation that could aid in achieving the global objective of preserving 30% of nature, oceans, and freshwater, while also decreasing carbon emissions by more than 40% by the year 2030.

A significant number of the strategies required to attain these objectives are either brand new or still await discovery. It’s in this gap that our award steps in. Every year, we scour the globe for ideas that, when expanded, could bring about profound change.

Each year, with guidance from our esteemed global consultants and Earthshot Prize council members such as Sir David Attenborough, Cate Blanchett, and Nemonte Nenquimo (an indigenous leader from the Ecuadorian Amazon), we narrow down a pool of candidates to 15 finalists and ultimately choose five winners.

All our finalists take part in a one-year mentorship and assistance program known as a fellowship, which offers guidance from renowned figures such as global climate leaders like the American entrepreneur and ex-Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.

The victors are awarded one million pounds apiece to expand their concepts, and I strongly recommend taking a peek at their projects alongside those of the finalists. These individuals hail from all over, and they could be any one of us. Perhaps the inspiration drawn from their exceptional work might foster the germination of your own Earthshot opportunity?

Among our 2022 winners is the innovative London-startup, Notpla, who create a seaweed substitute for single-use plastics. One might ponder, “Could I possibly eliminate fossil fuels from plastic packaging and replace it with seaweed instead?” Now, at Aston Villa (a royal favourite!), patrons are enjoying their fish and chips or vegan burgers in eco-friendly seaweed-based packaging.

Additionally, there’s the British finalist MiAlgae who discovered a striking method of transforming by-product water from the Scottish whiskey sector into food for fish farms. Every day, vast numbers of wild fish are caught to supply farmed fish with Omega-3 and sustain their populations. It is estimated that approximately 440 wild-caught fish are needed to produce a single farmed salmon. In only half a year, MiAlgae has produced enough nutrient-rich microalgae powder to feed over 2.4 million fish in our oceans.

This year’s awards took place in Cape Town, and another finalist this year is working to provide clean and affordable energy to rural African communities. Although Africa contributes least to global warming, it is one of the regions most susceptible to its effects. However, the world is teeming with extraordinary transformations, and Africa, particularly its youth, is brimming with creativity and innovation.

Highlighting and championing these extraordinary concepts, we aim to ignite people’s hopefulness. Change is bound to encounter resistance from those who fear the shift away from fossil fuels, but progress cannot be stopped, nor can a movement that continues to expand daily, with an increasing number of individuals investing their time, skills, and imagination into resolving global issues – without seeking approval first!

Making choices today contributes significantly to steering us towards a more eco-friendly tomorrow. Striving for perfection can sometimes be paralyzing; instead, let’s encourage small steps that lead to action.

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve come to appreciate the power of subtle shifts in a movie plot or character development. Just like Margaret Mead wisely pointed out, a small band of dedicated film enthusiasts can indeed reshape the cinematic landscape; it’s been proven time and again throughout film history that it is these seemingly minor changes that ultimately make the biggest impact.
