Just browsing through the EU proposals on climate change (as you do) I noticed that the Brussels representative of Friends of the Earth is a one Brook Riley. Many readers will say "who?" but longer time residents will remember the son of Marion and Paul Riley, both of whom lived here for many years. Marion sadly died a few years ago and as far as we know Paul continues his new life in the area. Both were passionate about conservation and it is pleasing to see this carried on.
BTW the proposals envisage a reduction in greenhouse gasses of 40%, renewables up to 27% and an energy saving of 30% by 2030. FotE as well as other ecology movements say this does not go far enough and perpetuates EU dependence on Russian oil and gas.
