| Info | I was born in Wallsend, grew up in Benton and have spent most of my adult years living and working in the North East. I count myself as a true Geordie by birth, and am very proud to do so. I have worked in a variety of situations, mostly in admin, for both council and private companies and have also been involved in fund raising for charities. I currently live in West Monkseaton.
I became involved with the Green Party in Newcastle after seeing a clip on television about the movement in the late 70's. At that time I also learnt about Friends of the Earth, and also became involved in the North Tyneside group. For a while I took an active role in both groups, helping produce newsletters, increase membership, and for a while coordinating North Tyneside Friends of the Earth. Although I took a break from active involvement for a few years, I have always totally believed in the founding principles of a green life, and was delighted to learn of the Green political progress being made. I truly believe that our country is now ready for real change, and the Green Party are the only ones who can effect that change.
Overall, I believe that the western world is coming into a period of great enlightenment. We have been confusing 'over-production' with 'progress', 'greed' with 'growth'. The recession has given us a marvellous opportunity - we are now able to use the lessons of our grandparents during the two World Wars and combine those with the great advances in science and technology, the ancient lessons of previous civilizations, and the awareness that our planet and its resources are finite, to bring us to the possibility of combining our global efforts to give our planet and its inhabitants a real chance of survival.
