Highbury resident Maryse Jones hands a postcard to Islington North's M.P. Jeremy Corbyn asking him to ensure that the government generates 15% of its energy from renewable sources such as wind power.The Government has been trying to wriggle out of its EU commitment by proposing that cash spent on renewable energy projects outside of Europe should be counted towards the UK's renewable energy target.
Stephen Taylor from Islington Friends of the Earth (in the middle of the picture) said “Rising energy bills and the threat of climate change means generating green energy from renewable energy such wind, sun, waves and tides makes sense and it will create hundreds of thousands of jobs”.
Islington Friends of the Earth collected postcards from 68 other visitors to the Climate Change and Me event at Highbury Fields school on Saturday Oct 11th.
