Annotation	The Greener and Wiser Taskforce comprises ten older people representing a range of backgrounds and areas of the country who were recruited through an advertisement distributed by Help the Aged. Their manifesto aims to increase the profile of older people in environmental decision making and communication, and to address the practical challenges older people face in making greener choices. Having worked together and talked to experts over a 6-month period, they make recommendations for change on transport, energy and climate change, and waste and recycling. This manifesto has been written with support from Green Alliance in partnership with Natural England and Age Concern and Help the Aged. (RH).
