None

Britain's Prince Charles wowed tourists, viewed monuments, addressed ocean pollution and got special gifts from the National Archives on Wednesday during his US goodwill visit with his wife Camilla.

 

The four-day visit by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall aims to boost British-American partnership in such areas as climate change and encouraging corporate social responsibility.

 

The 66-year-old-heir to the British throne, who has made the environment a special concern, called in a speech for stemming the flow of plastic waste into the world's oceans.

 

He said that a study has estimated that if nothing is done, by 2025 there will be a ton of plastic waste in the sea for every three tons of fish.
