Government in not practicing what they preach shocker

The Prime Minister’s staff dropped an eco clanger — in a letter to a schoolboy about fighting global warning.

Downing Street workers urged ten-year-old Charlie Webster to use both sides of writing paper to save trees.

They put the advice on two pages — typed on one side only.



A Downing Street spokesman said: “We are working to step up our efforts and trying to make No10 as green as possible.

“But there is always room for improvement.”

Charlie, from Wolvey, Leics, said: “It seemed a pretty silly thing to do.”
