Charles backed over economic growth warning
9 February 2011
Welcoming today's speech by the Prince of Wales warning of the dangers that the pursuit of economic growth poses to the environment, Friends of the Earth's Policy and Campaigns Director Craig Bennett said:
"The Prince has hit the nail on the head - continuing to wreck our environment in the pursuit of economic growth is stealing our children's future.
"Alice in Wonderland economics must end - we need a new approach which has the well-being of people and our planet at its very heart.
"We have the know-how to build a safe, prosperous and sustainable society - and with bold political leadership it can become a reality."
