OUR FAVORITE SITES -- 20


THE PRINCES' FOUNDATION FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Prince Charles -- yes, dad to the prince who got all the coverage for marrying that Middleton gal -- has spent a quarter century improvign the built environment in England and all over the world.

The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment is an educational charity which exists to improve the quality of people’s lives by teaching and practising timeless and ecological ways of planning, designing and building.

This is no hands off, idle charity for a royal.

No, the Prince of Wales has taken a very active role in conserving land and traditional archicture in the UK.

If only the U.S. would listen.
