I believe it is up to us – and us alone – to look after our wonderful planet and all its people.
Sian Berry is a green campaigner, politician and author. Since joining the Green Party in 2001, she has been a candidate in numerous council and parliamentary elections, and was the Green candidate for London Mayor in 2008.
She was the national Campaigns Co-ordinator in 2006 and Female Principal Speaker from 2006-7, the closest thing to a Green Party Leader until a change to their constitution in 2009. Recently she has focused on website development, on-line campaigning and fundraising, and produced Caroline Lucas MP’s campaign site for Brighton Pavilion in the 2010 general election.
