Green Options

What, I found myself wondering, is Greenpeace doing aligning itself with a Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate? Well, pragmatism, I suppose. But it started me thinking about who is the greenest on the mainstream UK political scene. And about Zac Goldsmith.

Hundreds of activists are currently blocking a departure gate at Heathrow Airport in England. The group is protesting the planned third runway at the airport, which is expected to be approved by the government this week.

The peaceful act of civil disobedience was organized by Climate Rush, the same group that shut down Parliament when they rushed the building in October. In addition to environmental activists, residential neighbors to the airport have been vocal in their opposition to the third runway.
