‘GREEN SENIORS’ TO BE VOLUNTEER ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISERS

JUNE 22nd, 2009

A new manifesto, ‘Greener and Wiser‘, produced in conjunction with Age Concern, Help the Aged, Green Alliance and Natural England, calls for older people to be trained as local volunteer environmental advisers. With a growing older population and widespread apathy amongst the younger generation, the ‘Greener and Wiser’ manifesto recommends making use of the older generation to ‘age proof’ local environmental strategies and develop intergenerational projects for the community.
