Former Director of Friends of the Earth Tony Juniper and Chair of the Sustainable Development Commission Sir Jonathon Porritt call for people to vote Green in Euro and local elections this June. Very influential support indeed.
The independent views of a long time Green campaigner, Glenn Vowles, in Knowle, Bristol, UK. Thoughts about our real wealth - the natural world, the source of our resources and the basis of our lives - and how it can and should be sustained for generations. Aiming to: challenge institutions, decision making processes & politicians; identify & report compromise at crunch points; counter 'greenwash' & 'greenspeak'; describe, explain & advocate a green analysis, change & problem-solving.
Sustainability -
For: naturalism; pragmatism; ecology; respecting our environment because it's a part of us and we are a part of it; stronger local communities; meeting needs now and in the future; local and global fairness and equality; efficiency; renewability; health, wellbeing and quality of life; an evidence-based, reasoned, systems-thinking approach.

Green Party members say vote green shock
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading a South Bristol FOE document a couple of decades ago in which Bristol FOE raised serious concerns about Porrits 'Personal ambitions' and agenda / priorities etc!
Its almost enough to make me wonder whats going on! ........... almost!
Point is that both Juniper and Porritt have a huge amount of knowledge, experience and influence. Both are now very active in directly helping the Green Party, and that this is relatively recent.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that both are greens and that they are both personnally ambitious is of course not news.
