I was glad to see the speech from George Osborne concerning environmental issues.
He made clear the need for urgent action on the environment, and other shadow cabinet members will be talking on this issue later this week.
I know that the people of Brighton Kemptown are concerned that real action not words is taken to fight against climate change, and Brighton & Hove Conservative run Council is taking action now!
A Conservative Treasury will play a central role in the fight against climate change, unleashing green finance and helping to generate the green jobs, businesses and growth that Britain needs.
There will be a requirement for government departments to cut their energy bills by 10 per cent within 12 months of the election. We will also boost green finance with a new Green Investment Bank and Green ISA’s, and make it pay to go green by helping local councils to pay the public to recycle. In Windsor, this innovative approach to recycling has increased recycling rates by 30 per cent.

Let us hope the incoming Conservative Government does better than the present shower on this important issue.
