We BLAGGED our way into Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards in Singapore! | Sorted Food

[@LunarisArts]

Gotta be honest, if Sir Attenborough didn't open this, I probably wouldn't have been sobbing through this video. Just love that man. He's like the grandfather we all wish we had. (Rest in peace grandpa Ale and Lauri)

[@connorpidcock8328]

Little reminder that it's not the individual that has to change. It's the major companies and leaders of the world to pave the way.

[@SortedFood]

I know what you mean, but it’s also on all of us to demand that change. 1 person might not be able to make a difference, but when millions of us club together, that will make a difference.

[@connorpidcock8328]

@SortedFood Let's just hope we're heard this time. It's difficult seeing nothing from the people who are the biggest offenders. Hard to clean up the paint when someone else is still throwing it everywhere yaknow?

[@RChurricanes]

​@@SortedFood It sounds very nice but in reality if you just look at the statistics and the numbers (aka money stats...), you see that anything (99%) related to a "let's fight climate change and save the earth" type of idea is pure theatrics

[@kirstenpaff8946]

I don't know what it is about Sir David Attenborough, but every time he talks about the planet it moves me to tears.

[@aussiecountry9320]

Absolutly, and who ever made the video and chose the sound track, combined they all made something just absolutly special

[@TheCatWitch63]

I believe it is because we van feel how much he truly cares about protecting and preserving our planet’s life.

[@monicareno4088]

YES! Same! I LOVE THAT MAN! 😊

[@adambier2415]

I don’t tear up every time but I did this time. I can’t imagine a better spokesperson. I just hope he has the same effect on the decision makers of the world.

[@totalredeem44]

YOU ARE ALL SO IRONICAL ! HE FEELS COMPLETLY FILLED WITH EVIL ! HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SOOO BLIND ???

[@traceysayshello]

Not sure if it's more well known in the UK, but the first time I heard about Earthshot was through the first video Sorted food did, and I would have had no idea about the awards if you guys hadn't made this video. You're doing amazing work bring these initiatives to a larger audience!

[@fabe61]

I live in London and nah, Sorted was also the first I’d heard of it. I think it’s a lot of celeb fluff though. I don’t think there’s much here in the way of really getting to grips with the climate crisis - supporting good initiatives without discouraging bad, existing systems erases a very large and important part of the picture. Smacks of the kind of ‘entrepreneurial spirit of the South’ that underpins a lot of philanthropy today.

[@anyaakovalchuk]

@@fabe61 It's a different perspective though. There have been many studies done on what emotion people react to best, and it has been proven that many younger people respond to hope better than fear or anger. That is why many entities are focusing more and more on the hopeful positive new perspectives and initiatives in the hope that they will prevail over the older and more harmful practices. Instead of bashing people for what bad things they do know, they try to bring in new better things through hope for the future. I don't know if I explained this well enough, English is my second language, sorry!

I have been following the Earthshot since it's beginning. I think it's a noble idea. Such big events contribute in spreading awareness. It also attracts investors. All 15 finals get support from the project. Glad to see sortedfood getting involved in it ❤️

[@feitocomfruta]

I love the journey all y’all have been on since the channel launched. You started with “let’s make good food accessible to students” with cooking demonstrations and simple recipes, and now that’s become “let’s make great food accessible to everyone” with education and advocacy for better systems to provide food to everyone in every walk of life.

[@hannahcq]

This legitimately gave me hope for the future. It is so easy to focus on all the things going wrong on our planet, highlighting the work that people are doing to improve our world gives me hope for our future.

[@Timlagor]

Hope will be appropriate when emissions are falling rapidly. They are currently rising We are currently *subsidising* fossil fuels.

[@TofuTeo]

Hope is always appropriate. Ignore the cynical comment above. Hope is what gives us strength and courage to keep fighting against the odds. Bless you, and thank you for your beautiful comment. I feel the same as you too - that we need to put more focus on the helpers and healers in the world. ❤

[@TheCatWitch63]

There’s something one of the guys said about sometimes feeling that the little things we do don’t matter, but I believe that everything adds up in the end. I do feel cautiously hopeful, and I’m happy to see so many people committed to making a difference, but I also wish that solutions were embraced and carried out by those whose actions would have the greatest impact.

[@kevparkin4846]

Media awards (oscars emmies etc) are regional due to the different cultures and media born from it, hollywood, bollywood etc. This is a truly global event, which proves that regardless of culture, politics or religion, saving the planet is global effort. Really refreshing to see. Well done guys.

[@theartist_harlivi]

This is an “Oscar’s” ceremony I’m happy and excited to see more of. I hope that very soon, this is celebrated and even more widely known than the entertainment version. I love movies and appreciate the work involved but this is something that will change the world for the better, something to save the earth and inspire everyone.

[@amitabasu3809]

Thank you so much for posting content like this. I've followed you folks for years, and your engagement with sustainability makes me tear up with pride and joy.

[@MsCdngrrl]

If this was about the earth, it would have been a zoom video conference

[@dianthus_rubrum]

Personal contact is important for networking. I feel it, too, the glitz and pathos of this event (and video) seem very hollow and people flying around the globe for climate conferences/events is contradictory. But there is no other way to travel long distances than fossil driven currently. Regarding this event practically it brought together scientists and businesses from especially the global south with investors, stakeholders and media from the global north. It raised awareness for an important topic and for companies who try to find innovative and social solutions for climate driven problems on the local scale. Imo, in the capitalized and media-driven world we live you could not replace such an event by a zoom meeting and achieve a similar networking effect.

[@teddymartinii1979]

I think it is great to recognize the work of people who are trying to make the world a cleaner, more sustainable place... but, I also can't wonder what the carbon footprint of this awards ceremony were. Between the event itself, and the flights of thousands of people to Singapore, a lot of fossil fuels were consumed.

[@kebeightyfour5717]

Excellent observation! Wondering the same.

[@kimxgree]

My thoughts exactly

[@partizanpack]

Nothing says you care about the environment quite like an unsustainable awards show.

[@fabe61]

Whole thing smacks of celeb fluff and I get the impression that this came about because there’s enough people who will want to say yes to the ideas of royal/wealthy types. I don’t think this represents a strong engagement with the actual problems that underpin the climate crisis. Supporting positive initiatives is well and good but doing so in such an excessive way without speaking at all to the ways in which things need to change and power taken away from certain interest groups/industries means this feels very hollow. The argument that hope is the best motivator is a very poor one, because you need hope and understanding.

[@tacostew1670]

I didn't expect to become so emotional while watching this. Thank you to all those who are fighting to heal our planet.

[@Anna_TravelsByRail]

The optimism speaking from this is heartwarming. Quite often I think we’re beyond the point of no return. And then I see this and realise that people are still working on solutions and that there is still hope. ❤

We went to the Moon less than 10 years from when President Kennedy announced the Moonshot project. We can always do more than we think. We are always stronger together if we just do what we can. Can everyone afford an electric vehicle? No. But can those who rely on gas/petrol do what they can to avoid unnecessary trips? Yes. Imagine how much waste happens because we make 3 trips to the store instead of 1.

So proud of Sorted being part of the solution and bringing more awareness of the need to save our natural resources. I've tried to make my students aware of the need to not waste food and to recycle everything that they can. Sometime you feel like Sisyphus when you have to remind them more than once. But then you have the one student how takes it to heart and passes the knowledge on. That is a victory! And can I just say how much I appreciate how the boys show their love and support for each other. Sure the cheek kissing is played for a bit of a laugh but then Jamie touches Mike's arm with sincerity and true affection to reflect how they truly feel about each other. Great role models for our students on that front as well.

[@lexiharding5498]

This made me cry so much. It so hard to fight the feeling of hopelessness and loss when you look at the news. We are losing animal species everyday, seeing the disasters around the world because of climate change, and constantly seeing images of rubbish piles and damaged environments.

Hello from Southern California. When I was a child in the 1950s and 1960s I loved watching nature shows because they brought the wonders of nature to me.
