Last night Camden Friends of the Earth brought a deputation to Full Council calling on us to commit to 40% cuts in our carbon emissions by 2020. That's a tough target, the more so since they want us to slash emissions throughout Camden not just on the Council's estate. But twelve UK councils have already signed up so it's perfectly possible. It's too close to the election to commit the next administration, but I was delighted that the Leader of the Council, Cllr Keith Moffitt, was able to announce that "40% by 2020" would be in the Camden Liberal Democrat manifesto.
