Despite breaking fan records once he opened the account, Sir David Attenborough has been overwhelmed. And therefore we can say with precision that the environmentalist will not return to Instagram.
In an interview with English radio, BBC Radio 1, one of the world’s most famous environmentalists pointed out that He knew how to communicate with all kinds of animals, but social networks surpassed him.
“I have enough with the emailsAttenborough said in his defense. And he pointed out that the idea of opening his Instagram account was due to being convinced to use the network. How? Sending messages of conservation of the planet.
“So for a limited time I contributed to Instagram, but now I’m leaving. And I have no intention of going back“, He specified.
Although Attenborough will not return to Instagram, it does not mean that he cannot be reached by his millions of fans around the world. In fact, during the same interview, he ruled that he received 70 letters a day and If someone sent you a physical letter that included your address and a stamp, I’d be happy to reply.
Attenborough, a life dedicated to the conservation of the planet
In addition to talking about his departure from the social network, the environmentalist also had the opportunity to chat with a young fifth-grade fan. When asked what he could do to combat climate change, he replied: “One of the best initiatives you can have is that don’t waste thingsSir David Attenborough said to the young Englishman.
“Don’t waste food, don’t waste electricity, don’t waste gas. Don’t waste paper. All those things are what the planet asks“Added the environmentalist while reflecting on the importance of a more economical lifestyle.
In this sense, what Attenborough meant is that if we pay attention to our consumption, we reduce it and we are aware of it, the resources that nature offers us will not be wasted as is currently the case. And we wouldn’t have as many worries about what will happen to the effects of climate change.
And so, as David Attenborough says, “the world would be a much better placer”.
