Dear
Supporter,
Following on from the launch of the Green Standard,
the tests of environmental leadership for political parties,
things are moving forward. As part of a coalition of environmental
organisations, we recently met with David Cameron and Sir Menzies
Campbell, to discuss how their parties can deliver on the Standard. We
also hope to be meeting as a group with Gordon Brown in the near future.
It’s
really important to keep the pressure on political parties to create
robust policies to protect the environment and the Green Standard
coalition will be publishing regular assessments of how the parties are
faring. You can help as well, if you haven’t already done so, by writing to your MP to encourage them to respond to the Standard and highlight it within their party.
Kind regards,
Sue Holden, chief executive
PS - For more info on the Green Standard visit the Green Alliance website
