Green Girls Global friend Katie Keegan, founder of the fantastic One Green Earth, presented Pete Postlethwaite with an award from the people. Here’s what Katie says and asks for your support for Pete.
Over to you Katie….
On Sunday 15th March at the premiere of the Age of Stupid Pete Postlethwaite pledged to return his OBE to the queen if the government fail take serious action on climate change regarding Kingsnorth and at the G20 summit in Copenhagen. He also pledged to go to the queen as a citizen and ask her to dissolve the government, and he said he would never ever vote labour again.
So I made a People’s OBE for Pete P, which stands for Outstanding Bravery for the Earth. Made out of 98% recycled materials!
We are asking any other OBE, MBE, GBE,GBE, KBE, DBE and CBE holders to join Pete in his pledge.
Support Pete
