Met colleagues from the British arm of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, formed after the famous Rio conference on sustainable development.
The Government is now planning for one million green collar jobs.
Interesting then to see how the new Department for Energy and tackling Climate Change (announced today as part of the cabinet re-shuffle) will add impetus to develop all the energy-saving and waste re-using technologies that are available.
Peter Mandelson's return to the cabinet was a surprise, not least for me who'd confidently bet a fiver with a spin doctor about whether he'd ever return. For years, 2 fivers have been stuck to olive-coloured hessian notice boards in an office, with drawing pins.
And now I'm a fiver light.
