Ed Miliband launches Labour’s green pledge card

Ed Miliband MP, Labour’s Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, launched Labour’s green pledge card at an event in Chester yesterday, saying:

“I’m proud of what Labour is doing in every community and in Europe to tackle climate change, but we have to do more. Millions of people are benefiting from the real help on offer to insulate their homes, saving energy and saving money too.

“Labour is supporting green manufacturing jobs, because everyone knows you can’t cut your way out of a recession, and low carbon growth will help us build a greener future for Britain.

“The Tories would choose isolation in Europe, while with Labour, Britain in the EU is making a difference in tackling climate change, from increasing renewable energy to higher efficiency standards for cars, fridges and washing machines.”
