For the last year much of the whole world has been under lock down and hopefully many people will have understood the pandemic is a Green Issue. The population is growing, more and more of us are eating meat or land rich food, as a result animals and humans are in ever closer contact and for years scientists have been warning that the outcome of this will be a pandemic. Well they warned us, we took limited notice and now it is upon us, and us humans have been dying as a consequence, but that is as nothing almost compared with how many species have died in the last 50 years. Apparently when the WWF was set up by people like Prince Phillip (see previous input) _ over 60% of us lived in rural areas, now that is right down to about 40% and in that time humanity has wiped out 60% of animals species. Our planet is dying and if our planet dies we die. On top of that add climate change. The picture at times looks very bleak, but at the same time there is much much more awareness that these issues are critical. So, will that translate into more votes on May 6th - I hope so. In deference to Prince Phillip electioneering has halted briefly, and many people may feel anxious about coming out to vote, but none of us want another year like this one, so I hope every one will grab their pencils, walk to their local polling station and vote for a Green(er) World.
Delighted to say that my friend Robert Gledhill is standing for the County on May 6th for the Green Party.
