Hilary Benn quotes:

Our changing climate has changed our politics

Resource efficiency - it's about only taking what we need

This is the new politics. Personal responsibility. Not leaving it to others. I am my planet's keeper.

As each tree falls so does the earth's ability to heal itself and to adapt to the effects of our changing climate

Why do we send valuable items like aluminium and food waste to landfill when we can turn them into new cans and renewable energy? Why use more resources than we need to in manufacturing? We must now work together to build a zero waste nation - where we reduce the resources we use, reuse and recycle all that we can and only landfill things that have absolutely no other use

We live on this very small and fragile planet: a world in which there is poverty and injustice is never going to be a safe and secure world
