Summary
The Government urgently needs to find alternatives to oil, coal and gas to help stop global warming. The options are building more nuclear power stations or using renewable energy from the wind, waves and sun.

The decision should be easy. Renewable energy is affordable, safe and clean and the UK has some of the best renewable energy resources in Europe. Wind power at sea alone could meet our electricity needs three times over and bring thousands of jobs to the UK.

Zero waste

Publication date:  27 March, 2002

The UK is in the middle of a waste crisis. New European legislation has spelt the beginning of the end for the polluting and unpopular practice of land-filling our rubbish. This has created a stampede by local authorities for incinerators, which are also hugely unpopular with the public and produce a range of toxic and cancer-causing chemicals.

However, a totally new way of looking at waste is emerging that removes the need to burn or bury our rubbish; Zero Waste.
