First of its Kind

First of its Kind

I've always been sceptical of people - especially politicians - who seem to be able to talk for hours about the need to make sacrifices for the benefit of the environment without leading by example themselves. Actions really do speak louder than words and it is in that spirit that I will proudly be running Malta's first totally sustainable national election campaign. It's more than about just planting a tree or two - every last letter printed by my office will be on recycled paper (and only when necessary) and I will go from campaign stop to campaign stop by zero emission electric car.

This will be coupled with efforts to make up for the inevitable carbon footprint that will be left by running a campaign office, travelling to Gozo by ferry, feeding the occasional volunteer and many more activities that I have little direct control over. I will be calculating, as closely as possible, just how many tons of CO2 my campaign will produce and offset this by working on various projects with environmental NGOs as well supporting environmentally sustainable projects.

This will hopefully live and grow beyond my campaign and of course I will continue with these efforts if you give me your support next June.
