Siân Berry Tony Juniper - former Friends of the Earth chief - wants boiler scrappage too. "Everyone should sign the petition to back it"

Hundreds of people who support the plumbing and building industries, as well as green campaigners and householders, have already signed the petition for a Boiler Scrappage scheme.

Siân Berry New blog post - signing up against Form 696
sianberry.org.uk
This week I've signed a joint letter to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, along with a variety of other campaigners, politicians and musicians, against Form 696 - the Met's questionnaire for gig promotors, which is exacerbating institutional racism against musicians and music fans.

Please sign the boiler scrappage petition from my new best mate, Mick the plumbers' merchant.
So many good reasons but if you're a green, the carbon and fuel savings are pretty decisive, not to mention supporting small businesses and real British manufacturing.
Sign today and make me happy!

By replacing just some of the 4.5 million boilers that are less than 70% efficient, we could save thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.

Some major outlets are letting them claim they are less extreme than they really are, without challenging their claims or making clear their spokesmen's criminal convictions and record of racism.

Siân Berry Glad the Stop Nick Griffin advert appeal is going well. Total raised now more than £3k but more needed. Check out the new video on this page too:

This new animated film demonstrates how the regional voting system works, and how it makes the race for fourth place crucial in the North West - pass it around to show your friends how their vote will really count.

Siân Berry The BNP are getting an easy ride from the media. To help redress the balance, we're collecting donations for a newspaper ad campaign across the North West. We need £15 from 500 people by next Friday - please donate today to help make this happen.

Siân Berry Join our new campaign to keep Nick Griffin out of the the European Parliament. Find out how just one extra vote for Green candidate Peter Cranie could make the difference...
Peter Cranie for the Greens is in a head-to-head battle with the BNP's Nick Griffin for the final MEP seat in the North West region. Fourth place matters more than you think, so join the campaign and find out why a Green vote in June is the best way to stop the BNP in the North West. In this June's European Election...s, we want people to vote Green for positive reasons. The work done by our two existing MEPs, Jean Lambert and Caroline Lucas, is widely recognised. We’ve also got a positive agenda to create new jobs that will lower energy bills and build a greener economy for the future. But we also recognise that the North West region is unique. This is where the Chairman of the BNP is standing for election. The BNP gained 6.4% last time, and as little as 7.5% could be enough to elect a 4th placed party to the European Parliament under the complicated D’Hondt proportional representation system. With the Green Party, we are building a coalition of anti-racist support to keep the BNP out of 4th place. Former Labour & Lib Dem councillors and other anti-racist political parties are backing the Greens. The combined support of these anti-racist votes in 2004 was 6.8%, more than that gained by the BNP, and we can beat them again if we work together.
