The charity One World Week was founded by the World Development Movement in the late 1970s and aims to encourage people to take care of the environment and the earth's resources.
Tim commented:
"We all need to be aware of the impact we are having on the environment so we can take steps to reduce the harm we are doing to the planet's natural resources.
"I was delighted to attend this event and hope it will encourage others to think carefully about their use of our precious resources."
