1 January 2003

Several hundred people braved the bleak weather on January 22nd 2003 to take part in Friends of the Earth's Waste No More lobby of Parliament.

Friends of the Earth campaigners with Joan Ruddock MP

The lobby forms part of our campaign to help make the Doorstep Recycling Bill law.

The Doorstep Recycling Bill, drawn up by Friends of the Earth, has been introduced to Parliament as a Private Members Bill by Joan Ruddock MP.

If successful, it will ensure that every household in England and Wales is supplied with a doorstep recycling service.

More than half of all MPs support doorstep recycling but it will only become law if enough turn up to vote when it is debated in the House of Commons on 14th March - please take the following urgent action to ask your MP to vote for the Bill.
