Stephen has joined a group of constituents who had organised to meet him as part of the Climate Coalition’s ‘The Time is Now’ mass lobby which calls for a green economic recovery from Coronavirus.
Across the country, hundreds of people met virtually with their Members of Parliament to draw attention to this important issue. East Ham residents brought their questions and ideas about renewable energy, recycling and environmental education.
Speaking to the residents, Stephen said: “I welcome the Climate Coalition’s mass lobby, because the more people that are speaking out about the importance of looking after the planet, the better our future will be. The Coronavirus pandemic has certainly led to policy decisions that we would previously have thought to be impossible becoming possible. I hope we can learn from this to ensure that the economic recovery the country now faces is low-carbon, high growth and ensures the protection of the environment.”
