Greenest Conference (?)

The Lib Dem autumn 2018 Brighton conference is shaping up to be VERY Green. We have more environmental stuff going on than you can shake a stick at. Will it qualify as the greenest ever? We are not sure, but it is worth taking a look at what is happening. the chart below tells you most of the key fringe meetings that catch the eye.

Calling all aspiring councillors planning to stand in next year`s local elections.... If you are a Green Liberal Democrat member we have negotiated a SPECIAL DISCOUNT of only 50% for the first six months membership of ALDC if you act quickly....

This is part of our organisation for the special "Green Campaigning Training" sessions planned for the Brighton conference. To become accredited as a Green Lib Dem candidate and be able to use the Green Bird Logo in your campaigning could give you just the edge you need and being an ALDC member ALWAYS gives you an edge in your campaigning. Coming along to the training sessions will help you discover the extent to which Green campaigning is needed in these trouble environental times AND the things you can do to help get yourself elected on a Green Liberal Democratic platform.

Calling all councillors, PPCs and, particularly, Councillor Candidates for 2019!!!

Green Liberal Democrats have got together with ALDC to organise two training sessions especially directed at Liberal Democrats who propose to stand in their local areas for the 2019 set of Local Elections. Both sessions will be held on Saturday 15th September in the Consort Room of the Grand Hotel in Brighton.

Introduction by Wera Hobhouse, MP.

Wera first met Vince at Green conference in Rochdale in 2005 so she was clear Vince has the skill of explaining complicated things to us and that he has a long track record on Environmental issues.

Vince speaks:

Thanks Wera. Wera is a tremendous addition to our party.

A new report from researchers at Oxford University and the Swiss agricultural research institute Agroscope provide a comprehensive database on the environmental impacts of almost 40,000 farms and 1,600 processing plants and retailers. The database is design to inform policy makers on how production practices and local geographies lead to different environmental impacts for 40 major foods. Producers have a profound impact on CO2 equivalent of the same product. For example, high-impact beef producers create 105kg of CO2 equivalent and use 370m2 of land per 100grams of protein while low-impact producers can use 12 to 50 time fewer resources to obtain the same result. By way of comparison, low-impact plant-based proteins such as beans and peas can create just 0.3kg of CO2 equivalents (including processing, packaging and transport) to produce the same 100grams of protein. On just one square meter of land!
