One Northern Irish name in top 100 environmentalists..
John Woods of Friends of the Earth is the only Northern Irish resident to make it into the Independent on Sunday’s top 100 Environmentalists in the UK. It’s worth just taking a bit of time out to the variety of people who’ve made it. It describes him as “the dynamic head of the pressure group Friends of the Earth in Northern Ireland who took the Government to the European Court for failing to curb sewage pollution there – and won. The judgment led to an ambitious clean-up programme of investment in new sewage works.” He also has a very dry sense of humour…
Also on the list, although not from Northern Ireland, it is worth mentioning Tom Burke who Chaired the Review of Environmental Governance which strongly advocated an EPA for Northern Ireland(not an NIEA).
