The mission statement of Prince Albert’s foundation is “protecting and progressing planetary health,” according to its website, making it a poignantly fitting final event for the dedicated environmentalist.
In a 2015 interview, the “Up Close & Personal” star spoke on climate change and said, “We need alternative energy. I think that’s the future. I don’t think oil is the future. This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I think it should stay in the ground.” He also revealed he worked in the Chevron oil fields as a kid.
The icon expressed concern for the future of Earth as he continued, “We’re so close to polluting the planet beyond anything sustainable. He hopefully predicted a shifted focus to alternative energy would create an industry and jobs.
When asked what he would say to people questioning why they should listen to a Hollywood actor about the environment, Redford replied, “I’ve been an activist since 1969. I’ve been involved in the environment from a standpoint of wanting to draw attention to what an alternative could be rather than what we’ve been having.”
