It is depressing to note how little talk of nature and the environment has featured in the election debates and campaigning currently dominating the media. There is still time to let your PPCs (Prospective Parliamentary Candidates) know how important green issues are to you personally and for the future of the planet. The run-up to the election is a chance to raise issues and demand answers and many of the posts in this week’s newsletter urge you to action; to use your voice to move environmental matters up the political agenda.
