The Princess of Wales has revealed she follows the environmental philosophy of an unlikely figure from the green movement - Bob the Builder.Kate described how her family adhere to the tenets of the popular animated workman who believes in not letting anything go to waste, during a visit to an Italian project re-using industrial surplus.The princess travelled to Italy to learn about Reggio Emilia's world-renowned education programme for young children that stresses the importance of parents, educators and the environment - "the third teacher" - that surround a child.She began her day visiting a public infant-toddler centre and nursery school in the city to learn more about the education system and joined children at an outside activity.The school places an emphasis on outdoor learning and environmental education and Kate talked to children and staff as they handled newts from a tank.
