The Liberal Democrats have consistently campaigned for the environmental cause. We are rightly the most trusted of the three main parties for our policies on improving the environment and tackling climate change, and our poll rating on this issue recently reached an all-time high.
Here is your chance to do your bit to help the environment in three ways:
FIRST: Pledge to make the Green Switch by signing up to one or more of ten environmental pledges on the Environment Agency Website at http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/wed/campaign/?user=71366
As the Environment Agency themselves state: "You can make a small promise like turning off the tap when you brush your teeth or using a 'bag for life', or to offset your carbon emissions when you take a flight."
SECOND: Sign up to receive email news from the Liberal Democrats about the environment at http://www.libdems.org.uk/party/emailnews.html - just tick the "Environment" option in the list.
THIRD: What have you done? Are there successes you've had that we should be getting people to replicate elsewhere? Please let me know by emailing Richard@richardburt.org
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our times, and the Lib Dems are setting the pace on ways to change our behaviour. This year, we have taken a big step by putting forward practical proposals for a "green switch" - cutting taxes such as income tax whilst raising taxes on actions which damage the environment. It has changed the terms of the political debate. With your help, we do all we can to improve the environment and continue to hold the other parties to account when their actions fail to match their words.
Thank you for your interest but we are no longer accepting signatures for this petition.
