Green is not a party


I have great faith in human nature, in peoples goodness. I believe that most of us now realise the importance of moving to a world that trades ethically, and that we all try in some ways to be eco friendly. Recycling, conserving energy, buying organic, these things have all made the headlines over the last few years and are starting to have an impact. Green issues have made their way into mainstream education. Even the politicians have realised that this is not just a minority view, but the general view of mainstream voters. Who would have thought that we would have “Green Tories”? Ok, you might say that they are just jumping on the bandwagon to get votes, maybe they are, but every little movement in the green direction takes us just that little bit closer to where we need to be.

Green is NOT a party, but a fundamental value for all parties.
