SO David Cameron, pictured, is supposed to have said “get rid of all the green crap”. Whatever happened to “the greenest government ever” that the MP for Witney boasted in 2012?
In Oxford we are busy reducing energy use, creating sustainable energy and building a low carbon economy.
Oxford Bus Company is reducing its diesel consumption. Residents in Osney are investing in hydro-electric power.
In Barton, householders are insulating their homes.
Protecting the environment and building a strong economy are two sides of the same coin.
The tiny part of our bills that is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is tackling fuel poverty. Low carbon is the future whether the Prime Minister likes it, or not.
JOHN TANNER (Labour Cllr) Board Member for a Cleaner, Greener Oxford City Councillor for Littlemore & County Councillor for Isis
