Welcome

I am an environmentalist, trade union representative and member of the Labour party living in rural Hampshire in the south east of England.  I am going to start putting together my thoughts here to participate in the debate on green growth.

I do not believe that we achieve very much by ourselves in isolation, so let's work together for a brighter future.  I will happily invite input from everyone, whether or not you are an environmentalist, trade union representative, party political activist, business person, conservation volunteer or charitable organisation.

I enjoy reading other blogs and online news and comment.

I regularly comment at Eoin Clarke's the The Green Benches  blog.  This is a particularly friendly and popular site, with informative polling analysis, humorous caption competitions, and a YouGov VI tracker poll prediction competition.  Eoin intends to turn it into a one-stop-shop for politics and polling analysis and I think he's almost there.  The site has potential to grow into one of the top UK political blogs.  Most importantly, it provides a rare opportunity for those with a wide range of different views to come together and amicably discuss politics and the environment.  I have enjoyed a wide range of discussion topics on the site, including many that overlap with the intended topic of my own blog, and I contributed towards a section for a considered policy document that the other “Green” place will be submitting to the Labour party policy review.

    A first post by Eoin! Thanks for your advice and support over the last few weeks. Your blog is clearly my favorite political blog for the reasons I have mentioned above, it just goes to show what can be done in Blogspot. I look forwards to seeing what direction you take the site in over the next few months, the sky is the limit. Well done Eoin!

    As for my blog I shall take your advice although it is going to proceed at a leisurely pace so you are just going to have to be patient! I want to focus more on nature and the environment and less on other topics and report on activities and projects in the local community over the months to come.
