Green Liberal Democrats: "Liberal Democrats believe that by helping the environment, we can help our own pockets, our families, our communities and our world."

The Green Liberal Democrats' Record

The Green Liberal Democrats is the environmental campaign group of the Liberal Democrats. It is the largest campaign group within the Party, and has been influential in ensuring that all aspects of the Party's policies have their ecological impact considered. It is working to put sustainability onto the mainstream political agenda.

The Liberal Democrats' Record on the Environment

The Liberal Democrats consistently score highly in independent reviews of their policies and record of action. During the last General Election in 2001, the Friends of the Earth gave the Lib Dems' manifesto a score of 37.5 out of 50. This compared with a Labour score of 23 and an abysmal Tory score of just 6.5!
