Today
(11th May 2009) Richard Branson pledged his support for the Prince
of Wales “Frog” Campaign. Richard stated “As
you all know, for many years I have been concerned with climate
change and its impact. The plight of the world’s rainforests
is a massive influence on this and perhaps the single most important
factor in protecting our environment – that is why I have
served on the steering group for this project.
“I will use my speeches
and contacts to reinforce his message. The Prince is looking for
public support across the globe by seeking millions of sign ups
for his web based petition.”
Simon
Burridge CEO of Virgin Games (poker, casino and bingo games) commented “This
is another great initiative by Richard and The Prince of Wales.
They are setting the standard when it comes to campaigning on
climate change. Virgin Games is thrilled to be a part of helping
bring awareness of the devastation that it’s having to rainforests
all over the world.”
