00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:52,270
and it's very remarkable.
179
00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:55,240
I wonder who's
taught them so much about it.
180
00:07:55,242 --> 00:07:56,441
They have.
181
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:59,044
Every generation, you know,
after yours, david,
182
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:00,479
has grown up listening
183
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:02,247
and seeing all the things
that you've shown them,
184
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:05,617
and hopefully generation
listens a little bit more.
185
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:07,552
-Hi, everybody.
-Hi.
186
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,254
-What's your name?
-Yasemin.
187
00:08:09,256 --> 00:08:10,755
Hello, yasemin.
You're?
188
00:08:10,757 --> 00:08:13,091
George: I think I need to be,
like, a scientist.
189
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,060
I want to try and help
the polar ice caps,
190
00:08:15,062 --> 00:08:17,295
to stop them from melting.
191
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:18,730
And do you know
where it's going?
192
00:08:18,732 --> 00:08:21,466
To the antarctic.
193
00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:23,668
Oscar: They will see penguins
and killer whales,
194
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:24,903
but it's really cold,
195
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:28,139
so, like, you can get frostbite,
apparently.
196
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:29,708
Catherine: I wonder what they're
going to discover.
197
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:32,444
They could discover things
they don't even know about.
198
00:08:32,446 --> 00:08:34,546
I'll be distraught
for all the penguins
199
00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:36,381
to just lose
their environment
200
00:08:36,383 --> 00:08:38,884
'cause they need
the antarctic to survive.
201
00:08:40,721 --> 00:08:43,688
This is 85,000 years old,
this piece of ice.
202
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:45,557
Now we can tell what
the atmosphere was like
203
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,359
85,000 years ago.
204
00:08:47,361 --> 00:08:49,694
What sort of things
would be breathing air
205
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:53,298
that's in the ice
of 85,000 years ago?
206
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:56,134
-Dinosaurs.
-Saber-toothed tigers.
207
00:08:56,136 --> 00:08:57,869
-Yeah, saber-toothed tigers.
-Saber-toothed tigers.
208
00:08:57,871 --> 00:08:58,937
There you go.
209
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:00,839
So that ice you saw
of 85,000 years ago,
210
00:09:00,841 --> 00:09:03,308
the air that was in there
was being breathed
211
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:04,843
by saber-toothed tigers.
212
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:05,877
How cool is that?
213
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:06,878
And woolly mammoths.
214
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,346
Woolly mammoths.
215
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:11,349
Amazing, isn't it?
216
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:19,024
The world, at the moment,
is facing great, great problems.
217
00:09:19,026 --> 00:09:26,665
And the most aware of that
are the young people of today
218
00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:30,168
who will inherit this world.
219
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:31,536
Thank you very much.

doesn't have to go far

My message to prince william
226
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:52,824
is to tell everyone
that nature needs saving
227
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:55,760
and it's not too late
to save it.

Who like to garden,
get covered in mud, chat,

and save the world.
235
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:21,453
I don't want to drop it.
236
00:10:21,455 --> 00:10:24,189
It's wormy!
It's wormy! It's wormy!

Narrator: The eco emeralds
are beginning with insects
238
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:31,196

with a familiar ring to it.

It's fantastic that
you're here, really.
242
00:10:39,005 --> 00:10:40,271
So thank you so much.
No, it's great.

I'm keen to see it, actually.
Really am.

they're very keen to see you.
They don't know yet, okay?

As long as
you haven't told them

that someone from manfield's
turning up, it's alright.

Abigail, elliott...
262
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,780
We need to look after bugs
263
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:26,685
because worms help
fertilization.
264
00:11:26,687 --> 00:11:29,587
Can you tell me
what you've been up to?

Finding bugs?

00:11:30,924 --> 00:11:33,024
The bugingham palace.

Bugingham palace.
I love it.

is that the queen bee?

we've got grass.

Oh, look at that worm.

You know, they don't like being
in your hand 'cause of the heat.

Yeah.

Narrator: There's one
very special kind of bug

for whom the children
will roll out the red carpet.
279
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,454
We gonna get some bees in there
this summer, do you think?

Yeah!
281
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,858
Why are bees
so important?
282
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:07,892
Because, like --
283
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:11,896
they create
75% of our food chain.
284
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:13,431
They pollinate.
285
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:16,534
Yes, and why is
pollinating plants
286
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:18,002
and flowers
really important?
287
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:19,971
Because --
288
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:23,007
because the flowers
and plants,
289
00:12:23,009 --> 00:12:27,545
they bring life to our air
and they help other animals
290
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:28,947
like caterpillars.
291
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:34,419
If there was no nature,
no bees, no food, no us.
292
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:35,487
Very important.
293
00:12:35,489 --> 00:12:36,654
We've also got a few questions
for you.
294
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:38,456
Have you? Okay.
Ask me questions.
295
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:40,325
If you're asking me
about percentages of bees
296
00:12:40,327 --> 00:12:41,860
and things like that
and what stings,
297
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:43,361
I might not be able
to answer them.

Is princess charlotte
cheekier

00:12:44,865 --> 00:12:46,464
than prince george?
300
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:48,133
No, they're about as cheeky
as each other.
301
00:12:48,135 --> 00:12:49,768
They're very cheeky.
302
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:52,937
And does prince george,
like, do the floss?
303
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,672
No, charlotte can floss.
304
00:12:54,674 --> 00:12:57,475
She can already floss at 4.
Yeah.
305
00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:58,910
You don't want
to see me floss.
306
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,645
Catherine can floss,
but I can't.
307
00:13:00,647 --> 00:13:04,616
It's like a really horrible film
to watch me floss.

If you lived in the bugingham
palace, what bug would you be?

00:13:07,821 --> 00:13:09,954
What bug would I be?
Maybe a millipede.

Have loads of legs,
loads of shoes.
311
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:14,793
I've been completely blown away

00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,995
by how knowledgeable
these children are.
313
00:13:16,997 --> 00:13:18,930
-What is it?
-A rose beetle.
314
00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:21,533
It's a rose beetle.
Very good knowledge.
315
00:13:21,535 --> 00:13:24,869
They really understand
that without these insects,
316
00:13:24,871 --> 00:13:26,337
we lose so much.

for bugs in their own backyard
319
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:34,145
may be a small start.
320
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,915
But it has massive implications.
321
00:13:36,917 --> 00:13:38,316
At the minute,
we're in the middle
322
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:39,918
of an extinction crisis.
323
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,055
We have reporting that 40%
of all insects across the globe
324
00:13:44,057 --> 00:13:46,658
could be extinct
in the next few decades.
325
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:48,560
I mean,
that is catastrophic.
326
00:13:48,562 --> 00:13:51,596
The reasons for that
are habitat loss and pollution,
327
00:13:51,598 --> 00:13:53,131
including pesticides
and herbicides,
328
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:54,833
which knock out, obviously,
a lot of insects
329
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,467
and the food for insects.
330
00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:59,170
That has implications
right throughout the food chain
331
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:03,708
because for the most part,
everything eats insects --
332
00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:06,744
birds, bats,
lizards, hedgehogs.
333
00:14:06,746 --> 00:14:09,314
We also need insects,
as well.
334
00:14:09,316 --> 00:14:13,718
So we've got in the u.K.
270 species of bee.
335
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,620
As the kids
were telling you,
336
00:14:15,622 --> 00:14:18,623
they're really, really important
for pollination.
337
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:21,860
So without them, you know, we
don't have things like tomatoes.

tomato crops.

for elliott's idea
340
00:14:26,666 --> 00:14:31,269
came from an unlikely place --
his school dinner.
341
00:14:31,271 --> 00:14:36,841
I started the eco emeralds
because I saw that the ice cream

00:14:36,843 --> 00:14:39,010
had palm oil in.
343
00:14:39,012 --> 00:14:40,545
Palm oil makes me sad
344
00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:44,582
because it's destroying
the monkeys' habitat
345
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:46,718
because they're cutting down
the trees
346

just so a bunch of kids
can eat a bowl of ice cream.

the beach and enjoying the sea.

It'll be nice that
they're giving some love back.
696
00:32:06,992 --> 00:32:08,558
So thank you very much
for coming to help
697
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,360
with the litter pick.
698
00:32:10,362 --> 00:32:14,431
8 million pieces of plastic
enters our oceans every day.
699
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,333
These are cotton bud sticks
700
00:32:16,335 --> 00:32:18,435
which have been flushed
down the toilet.
701
00:32:18,437 --> 00:32:20,804
Takes 150 years
702
00:32:20,806 --> 00:32:23,640
for that to break down
in the marine environment.
703
00:32:23,642 --> 00:32:25,842
Have you done plastic and
microplastics and things here?
704
00:32:25,844 --> 00:32:29,579
So, yeah, so this is
tiny bits of microplastics
705
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:33,583
we've been finding,
and these are noodles.
706
00:32:33,585 --> 00:32:35,752
Fish, birds will eat this,
707
00:32:35,754 --> 00:32:37,888
and it's just getting
into their stomachs,
708
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:39,356
which is quite frightening
to see.
709
00:32:39,358 --> 00:32:41,825
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
710
00:32:41,827 --> 00:32:44,461
Look, is this something?
711
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,763
Oh, that's a balloon.
712
00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:50,867

Narrator: The anglesey
community's regular beach cleans
714
00:32:53,739 --> 00:32:56,707
helped make this
the first county in the u.K.
715
00:32:56,709 --> 00:32:59,142
To achieve plastic-free status.

It's nice to be back.
718
00:33:03,082 --> 00:33:04,414
It is. Very nostalgic.
719
00:33:04,416 --> 00:33:06,450
Is it? Aww.
720
00:33:06,452 --> 00:33:09,052
Couple of bays around the corner
where we were over there
721
00:33:09,054 --> 00:33:10,354
were really bad.
Man: Were they?
722
00:33:10,356 --> 00:33:13,256
Yeah, huge great tubs
of fishing kits,
723
00:33:13,258 --> 00:33:16,526
polystyrene, boxes,
lots of stuff washing up.
724
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:18,128
It's amazing how quickly
it came back.
725
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:20,097
Yeah, but at least you're
stopping it going out
726
00:33:20,099 --> 00:33:24,301
in the next tide,
which is really good.
727
00:33:24,303 --> 00:33:26,670
What we're trying to do
is encourage people
728
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:29,106
to be more responsible
with their actions,
729
00:33:29,108 --> 00:33:31,641
to break that habit
with single-use plastics,
730
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:34,978
to bring reusable,
and we are seeing that change,
731
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:37,714
and it is having an impact now,
which is great.
732
00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:42,586
Do you all care
about the environment?
733
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:44,488
Is this something
you learn at school?
734
00:33:44,490 --> 00:33:45,689
Yeah, yeah.
735
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,324
Why do you think it's important
for young people
736
00:33:47,326 --> 00:33:48,792
to care about
the environment?
737
00:33:48,794 --> 00:33:50,761
We saw a video on youtube,
738
00:33:50,763 --> 00:33:54,564
and it was a turtle that had
a straw stuck up its nose.
739
00:33:54,566 --> 00:33:57,067
Some people in this world
just don't care.
740
00:33:57,069 --> 00:33:59,202
Like, the world is worthless,
741
00:33:59,204 --> 00:34:01,405
and they don't care
about these animals.
742
00:34:01,407 --> 00:34:03,640
William: If it matters to them
and they're that passion
743
00:34:03,642 --> 00:34:05,108
that they then go
and spend hours
744
00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:07,477
protecting their
local environment,
745
00:34:07,479 --> 00:34:10,680
then we should all be trying
to do our very best
746
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:12,215
to make that difference.

far-reaching benefits.

At the northernmost tip
of scotland,

the ullapool sea savers

00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:33,236

environmental action group

00:34:33,238 --> 00:34:36,873
who are making waves
protecting their patch.

means when we're grown up,

00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,812
I don't want to have a sea
755
00:34:41,814 --> 00:34:44,981
which is empty of all
these amazing animals,

scallop, maerl.

but it's actually an algae.
789
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,634
It grows super slowly,

one millimeter per year
in slightly warmer waters,
791

but in colder waters
such as here,
792
00:36:15,073 --> 00:36:18,541
it can grow way slower.
793
00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:21,711
It's absolutely tiny
but it's super beautiful.
794
00:36:21,713 --> 00:36:26,483
It's got this really kind of
naturally vibrant pink color

1038
00:47:42,227 --> 00:47:44,360
This is at least
6 or 7 meters around,
1039
00:47:44,362 --> 00:47:45,661
and as a general
rule of thumb,
1040
00:47:45,663 --> 00:47:48,130
that means sort of
400, 450 years.
1041
00:47:48,132 --> 00:47:49,932
It's amazing, isn't it?
Yeah.
1042
00:47:49,934 --> 00:47:52,535

phenomenal.

To become carbon-neutral,
1046
00:47:59,477 --> 00:48:03,846
scientists say we'll need
to plant 1.5 billion new trees
1047
00:48:03,848 --> 00:48:05,715
by 2050.
1048
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,685
But just as urgent is the need
1049
00:48:09,687 --> 00:48:14,590
to conserve the trees
we already have.
1050
00:48:14,592 --> 00:48:18,261
Aldred: As trees grow older,
they grow faster,
1051
00:48:18,263 --> 00:48:19,762
and these days
of global warming,
1052
00:48:19,764 --> 00:48:21,631
where excessive carbon
1053
00:48:21,633 --> 00:48:24,800
in the atmosphere
is a big issue,
1054
00:48:24,802 --> 00:48:29,939
what better way than to leave
the big ancient trees standing
1055
00:48:29,941 --> 00:48:32,975
and just let them do
what they've evolved to do
1056
00:48:32,977 --> 00:48:34,777
over millions of years?
1057
00:48:34,779 --> 00:48:36,946
And you hear this a lot
with property developers.
1058
00:48:36,948 --> 00:48:39,215
They might need to remove
a tree like this,
1059
00:48:39,217 --> 00:48:40,583
but they say, "it's okay
1060
00:48:40,585 --> 00:48:43,352
'cause we'll plant half a dozen
others in its place."
1061
00:48:43,354 --> 00:48:45,488

that won't be any good

This is exactly true.

What we need to do now
1192
00:54:54,725 --> 00:54:59,094
is to scale up those efforts
across the world
1193
00:54:59,096 --> 00:55:02,698
so that they can turn around the
state of the ocean as a whole.
1194
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:04,600
What the science
tells us
1195
00:55:04,602 --> 00:55:06,435
is that we need
to be covering the ocean
1196

of marine protected areas,
1197

It makes me really happy because
this park wasn't very nice.

But now it's bright
and colorful.
1218

And one of our main goal
to protect the bees,
1223

is blossoming nationwide.

Barnes:
Their idea of backyard nature
1228
00:56:56,714 --> 00:56:59,681
is saying it doesn't matter
where you live.

We know in the u.K., there's
about 15 million gardens,
1237

of a national park
1238
00:57:26,410 --> 00:57:27,843
the size of dartmoor.
1239
00:57:27,845 --> 00:57:31,680
If every garden in the u.K.
Took on board backyard nature
1240
00:57:31,682 --> 00:57:34,983
and made it a haven for
wildlife, that would be immense.

what we have left...

1304

That generational gap
has to be bridged somehow
