They’re knocking doors all over Cardiff as part of their project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

ALMOST 800 people across Cardiff and Swansea have agreed to vote for the party that Greenpeace says has the best climate policies in their manifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been really careful designing it to be apolitical,\u201d Cardiff\u2019s coordinator said of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists \u201cstill grieving\u201d Labour\u2019s abandoned climate pledge are knocking doors around the city according to Sullie Burgess, Cardiff Greenpeace coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who sign up to Project Climate Vote will be sent party manifestos when they are released via email, alongside a rating of how green they are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Burgess said participants are also encouraged to put a poster in their window so that people canvassing for political parties later in the year will see that climate policies are a priority for voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHopefully our political parties will all have really great climate policies in their manifestos; that\u2019s the goal. Oh and then follow through on them, of course,\u201d said Mr Burgess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the group has knocked on doors in Roath, Pontcanna and Grangetown. It intends to reach as much of Cardiff as possible before the general election.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
