HRH The Prince of Wales, who recently came out of the solar power closet in favour of installing renewable energy sources at his London Clarence House residence, is scheduled to go on a five-day tour of Britain next week to highlight examples of communities and individuals starting to live more sustainably.
Part of the START initiative, the Royal Tour will include visits to a community-run city farm in Newcastle, a town-wide ‘grow your own’ project in Yorkshire, and an energy savings company in Nottingham as well as three national START festivals, two START Living Shops and a civic dinner in Manchester. The tour will begin in Glasgow on 6 September, before heading to Edinburgh, Carmarthen, Bristol, Newcastle, Todmorden, Manchester, Nottingham, and Birmingham, finishing in London on 10 September.
The Prince will be travelling on the Royal Train, which runs on bio-fuel, and he will host a series of meetings and receptions between station stops. The Duchess of Cornwall will join the tour for the Bristol and London visits.
