May 6th is the UK’s election day and the leaders of the country’s largest three political parties – Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg and David Cameron have released video statements about their commitment to taking action on the environment. You can watch all three statements on Green TV at the following:

Gordon Brown – http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_gordon_brown

Nick Clegg – http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_nick_clegg

David Cameron – http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_david_cameron

Green TV would also like to remind UK voters that other parties and candidates are available – and that the opinions expressed in these videos are not necessarily ours!

Watch it at – http://www.green.tv/ga_last_parliament

We’ll await the results next Friday.

The non-use of technology is more important a technology story than the application of technology these days. Almost three quarters of Dutch economic activity takes place below sea-level and sea levels will rise 1 meter by the end of this century. But instead of adding mechanization and making plans that will have a carbon footprint the Dutch will create flood planes and wave breakers by adding sand offshore and expanding marshes and public spaces. Not only are they bracing for extreme weather events, they are greening their living space as well!
