Economic growth won't feed a growing population living on this finite planet

Without environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved

No economic measure has more value for a nation than investing in a clean & sustainable low carbon future

Those living in rural areas as well as those with a planning policy remit for those areas have an important responsibility to protect green belt agricultural land for the wider benefit of feeding the UK into the uncertain future that we all face

Living in an orgy of unrestrained consumption and economic growth accompanied by population expansion that ignores the carrying capacity of local environments will lead to disaster

We can't always control what happens but we can control our response

Large carbon and resource savings arising from efficiency and renewable energy programmes will be completely cancelled out by the added resource needs of even small population increases. Action is urgently required on both fronts to protect our life on earth
