Nick says ...

The environmental message is not going to go away!

If we care about our World and the general wellbeing of all mankind then we should rank environmental issues higher up the political agenda. I feel strongly about this topic and worry about what the future will bring for my children and their children’s children.

How can we be so selfish in ignoring all the warning signs about climate change, indeed we can witness it with our own eyes every day. Just take the current UK climate whereby the Met Office have trouble forecasting from one day to the next. There’s a reason for this! We must all play our part even though the case for climate change is still very contentious, we won’t get a second chance to put it right.

That’s why I believe everyone can contribute in their own way NOW.
