Shakira: Sons inspire me to be more sustainable

Our earth’s resources are finite. Pop singer Shakira is also reminded of this simple truth by her little sons.

London – Singer Shakira says she learns a lot from her two sons when it comes to sustainability.

“I found myself running the water and my kids scolding and saying,” Mom, please can’t … you are wasting water. ” And it’s just amazing to see this in a seven- and eight-year-old, ”said the 44-year-old in an interview for the November issue of British“ Glamor ”. “I also think that today’s young people will be the generation that will bring about change.” It is the responsibility of adults to prepare children for it.

Her sons Milan (8) and Sasha (7) would also have persuaded them to support the Earthshot Prize, which was announced last year by the British Prince William. “Seeing how concerned they are, how much they care about our planet and how they can make it a better place is very inspiring for me as a mother,” said Shakira. Her children should live in a better world than the one she grew up in.

At the start of the Earthshot Prize in October 2020, the pop singer and Prince William published a video conversation in which they discussed their commitment to the environment. Shakira is also a member of the Prize Council.

The prize, which was awarded for the first time in October in the presence of Williams and his wife Duchess Kate, is to be awarded annually to five projects that excel in the categories of nature conservation, protection of the oceans, air cleanliness, waste avoidance and climate protection. dpa
