Repairing Our Planet

BBC One - The Earthshot Prize, Repairing Our Planet, Build a Waste-Free World

Prince William and David Attenborough look at ways of reimagining our production lines.

Prince William, David Attenborough and Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim see how we might reimagine our production lines to solve the problem of the vast amount of waste we produce.

Prince William, founder of the Earthshot Prize, is joined by Prize Council members Sir David Attenborough and Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, an indigenous rights spokesperson from Chad, to explore the story of our wastefulness and how we might move to a waste-free world. They reveal the extent of our careless approach to producing waste, both non-biodegradable and biodegradable, and discover that we can solve the waste problem by reimagining our production lines as materials circles, ensuring that the waste from one process becomes the resource for the next. At the close of the episode, Prince William introduces the finalists for the first ever Earthshot Prize to Build a Waste-Free World, and he reflects on the entire series and the scale of the challenges that face us as a species.
