Letter: The future of environmental policies as the Green Party falters
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The woolly minded members despised and deserted by Sara Parkin and her entourage may be few, but we are not ready for recycling, let alone rubbishing (leading article, 11 September). Her faction 'Green 2000' was greeted by the media as a breath of refreshing realism when it seized control of the Green Party last year. The true 'realists' were not so easily deceived.
Parkin and Porritt wanted followers, not activists, and promised a Green government by the year 2000, hence the name. Without a natural constituency, had this dream come true, it would have been a nightmare of environmental fascism.
The refashioned Green Party can no longer afford to flirt with the fickle media and massage the middle-class consumer. Our supporters are those who see the need for change. Our task is to subvert the dominant paradigm.
Yours faithfully
