Theirs is an unlikely alliance: the heir to the throne, the leader of the Church of England and the man who so nearly got the most powerful job in the world.
But the Prince of Wales, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Al Gore will this week launch a new project to encourage big business to become more "green".
Prince Charles is said by aides to be "totally committed" to the scheme in which companies will be urged to assess – and reverse – the damage they are doing to the environment.
...
Prince Charles will be one of three speakers at the launch of his Accounting for Sustainability project. The others are the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and Lord Browne of Madingley, the chief executive of BP, the petroleum giant.
It is understood that companies will be encouraged to follow Prince Charles's example by "offsetting" their carbon emissions. This is a service that allows individuals and companies to repair some of the damage caused by harmful emissions by channelling funds into projects that reduce levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Just today I got an email about carbon offsets. Read about it at Carbonfund.org.
