John,

This week we discussed GREEN business and its relation to creating community resilience and building an economy which makes it possible for people to live a meaningful life, through connecting to each other and the places we live.

We spoke to some folks who have made inroads into demonstrating that an economy which supports our and the planet's wellbeing could work.

Better IS Possible -- because better is already beginning to happen.

12 AUGUST, 2020 How is work a green issue? That is the topic that Beth Thoren, Deputy Chief Executive of Client Earth, and green entrepreneurs and activists Alice Bordini Staden (green finance) and Louis Howell (youth leadership) will discuss with Rosie Rawle, co-chair of the Young Greens and GREEN Peer, Natalie Bennett in our next live event.

OUR GREEN NEW DEAL for energy includes making sure that our main electricity sources by 2030 are renewables -- wind, sun and waves. Renewable energy is a clean, abundant source of energy that has positive rather than degenerative effects on the planet. Ecotricity uses the money from your energy bill to build new sources of renewable energy like windmills and sun mills. Ecotricity donates £50 to the Green Party for every switch.
