Environmental Campaigners Congratulate Andrew Stunell MP
April 5, 2005 11:20 AM
A partnership of all major environmental organisations today congratulated local MP, Andrew Stunell, for backing a Parliamentary Motion that would help avert climate change by encouraging investment in micro energy systems.
Andrew Stunell MP said:
"This new initiative will help more people set up small renewable energy devices in their own homes. This is good news for fuel bills and for the fight against climate change - the greatest issue facing the world.
Organiser of the Sustainable Energy Partnership, Ron Bailey said:
"We congratulate Andrew Stunell MP for being in the forefront of current moves to promote micro-generation to reduce climate change."
