Hello all you Healthy Pages environmentally aware eco-tribe[sm=nature-smiley-008.gif]
recently i put a post under current affairs about 'Climate Change - Friends of the Earth - "The Big Ask"', and when i tried to copy it here in the Eco forum it was (quite rightly) edited/deleted... [i'm new and didn't know the rules!].
so i wanted to post this here 'cos i have just come across a very similar thing run by the Woodland Trust, called "i count" - it is addressed to the PM, whereas the FoE one is addressed to your local politician

"Without urgent action, climate change will devastate biodiversity and life on earth.
Climate change is the greatest threat to ancient woodland - the UK's richest habitat
for wildlife."

RE: Climate Change - Woodland Trust "i count"
come on people...
Without urgent action, climate change will devastate biodiversity and life on earth.
PLEASE, just take the time to sign this (or the Friends of the Earth one) - as well as putting in those long life light bulbs, reusing bags etc. we NEED to put pressure on our politicians so that they know we care about our planet, all it's inhabitants and it's future...
THANK YOU!![sm=grouphug.gif]

Happy to oblige, Jenny.
It just struck me that I have heard nothing back from my MP re the earlier email addressed to him.
When I think how happy I was when he was elected....I live in a true blue Tory borough and for Labour to win it in 1997 was just so awesome. I was a member of the Labour Party at that time and my new MP actually turned up on the doorstep not long after the election (at a very inconvenient time, I might add). Turned out he was soliciting donations...I was broke so gave nothing, for which I am now very happy. In the little description of MPs I learn that he was a strong supporter of war in Iraq and is highly unlikely to rebel against the party line.
I never ever thought I would say this but the Tory party under Cameron is beginning to look almost attractive!:D
With love and thanks for feeding us the climate change stuff

RE: Climate Change - Woodland Trust "i count"
thanks sunanda
the one thing i have heard about David Cameron is at least he has a 'green' agenda, and thus is bringing the discussion back to the table - so that can only be a good thing!
i don't think nuclear power is the answer, i think it is extremely short-sighted (actually completely blinkered!) - i think we need a governmental system of tax breaks and tax levys on clean and polluting businesses etc. - so a decent political discussion would be a great start...
cheers

I have added my name to this pledge - definitely think we need a louder voice regarding G8 and all that.
