Don't get those post-election, crumpled-up ballot paper blues... | Print |  Email
Londoners: make sure you vote tomorrow! It's easy to let these things slide, what with the cut and thrust of modern life – counting your pennies before another weekly shop, stifling your sobs at the petrol station, digging up your lawn to plant some veg –  but it's important to make your vote count. So who's getting your vote on Thursday? (and don't forget you get two choices this year...)
 
Friends of the Earth has already voted, naming Ken Livingstone the ‘greenest’ of the three main candidates. “As Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone has put environmental issues at the heart of his policy making," says Tony Juniper, Director of Friends of the Earth. "He is one of the few British politicians to have shown genuine leadership on green issues and put London at the forefront of efforts to tackle climate change. His manifesto is full of exciting plans to go even further." 
 

Whoever wins, Friends of the Earth recommends the next mayor makes the environment a top priority by:
*Implementing the London Climate Change Action Plan, with significant cuts in London’s carbon footprint by 2025
*Setting targets for saving energy in homes and buildings, using clean, renewable energy
*Opposing expansion of London airports
*Reducing CO2 emissions from traffic in London, with higher charges for driving gas-guzzlers into the C-zone.
