Prince Charles has today spoken of the indifference he faced when attempting to raise environmental issues 50 years ago - saying 'no one wanted to know' at the time. The Prince of Wales said some people thought he was 'completely dotty' when he began speaking about plastic pollution in the 1970s. 'We are a microcosm of the macrocosm, but we've forgotten that, or somehow been brainwashed into thinking that we have nothing to do with nature, nature can just be exploited. However the Prince said he had noticed considerable change in urgency on environmental issues in the last 18 months. Prince Charles's Sustainable Markets Council aims to champion sustainable markets around the world with help from companies, financial institutions and governments.
