-After all, this is our home.
This is our planet.
It's about us as much anything else and the decisions taken
today will affect us and our children
as much as the generation of today.
Friends of the Earth is a grassroots environmental
organisation, so that means we've got lots of local groups
in the UK up and down the country who work
in their communities on local issues.
And then we all try and work together on national issues.
Climate change is a mainstream issue.
It's not just a green issue in a green box that's
only gonna affect a certain amount of people,
and it's not just about the planet.
It's about people that live on the planet.
So, it's gonna affect all of us because we have all
caused a certain amount of the problem.
We all have to take responsibility for that.
At Friends of the Earth, we think
it's for the government to act.
The government knows what we need to do.
And it's only them that can really
set that legally binding framework that
will ensure that businesses do the right thing
and allow it to make it cheaper and easier,
for us as individuals, to go green.
Every single individual can make a difference.
For a start, in the actions you take and the things
that you do.
Can you buy a greener product?
Can you reduce energy in your home,
just by simply turning off the lights,
boiling enough water in the kettle,
making sure your electrical appliances aren't on standby.
Take it out into your communities
in the way that feels most comfortable to you:
the Facebook groups, sites, the Myspace generation.
That's great, just any way that you can spread the message,
reduce your impact on the environment,
and tell the MPs that you care about it.
