 Shoppers should boycott companies who fail to go green, says minister image wallpaper

SHOPPERS should be prepared to boycott firms who fail to go green, a minister has said.

New International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan urged people to vote with their wallets to create a greener planet.

Ms Trevelyan also piled pressure on nations dependent on Chinese investment to pressure it into speeding up being more environmentally-friendly.

She said Britain must show "moral leadership" after two centuries of polluting the globe.

And she heaped praise on The Sun's Green Team campaign for ins­piring the public.

In her first major intervention on the world stage, Mrs Trevelyan said: "Little voices really do matter — and we're seeing a shift.

"We just need to keep pushing. Consumers can make a difference. They can say, 'I'm sorry, I don't like your products, and I'm not going to buy them'.

The more we spend our Pound in the way that's green, the more business will want the green Pound."

But her comments risk a backlash from industries facing National Insurance increases, supply chain chaos, and those struggling to bounce back from Covid.

Join The Sun's Green Team

THE Sun today encourages its army of readers to make at least one lifestyle change to slow the advance of climate change.

Everyone can get involved.

We've teamed up with the global campaign Count Us In to calculate how much carbon you will be saving by ditching old habits.

Remember even small changes help.

Find a step that's right for you and your family. Keep it up for at least two months and see how you do. It might become a habit.

When you're ready, try another step. All these will add to change. We'll get there together.

Visit thesun.co.uk/pledge and pledge to one or more lifestyle changes.

It could save you money and all of your actions will go toward a global goal of getting a billion people to make changes.

1.     Eat more plants – Going meat-free for a day brings the same carbon saving as not driving for a month.

2.     Cut food waste – The average UK family throws away £700 of food a year.

3.     Turn down heating – With energy prices rocketing this will save you money.

4.     Insulate your home – Stop heating the sky with heat escaping through your roof.

5.  Repair and re-use – We ditch the equivalent of 250 t-shirts a year.

6.  Walk or cycle one extra journey a day – petrol cars emit twice as much pollution in their first five minutes of use, so even short journeys add to climate change.

 Tory MPs threaten mutiny to stop sleaze watchdog kicking Owen Paterson out of Parliament image wallpaper

TORIES are threatening mutiny to stop the sleaze watchdog kicking MP Owen Paterson out of Parliament for 30 days.

Allies of the ex-Cabinet minister are fighting for his career after standards czar Kathryn Stone found he inappropriately lobbied for two companies.

She ordered him to be barred from the Commons for 30 sitting days, which could trigger a by-election in his North Shropshire seat.

In the latest twist, his allies are drumming up support among Tory MPs to vote down the watchdog's findings in the Commons on Wednesday.

One Cabinet minister said: "Ms Stone has lost the confidence of MPs. Many think it is unfair."

Allies of Mr Paterson are anxiously waiting to hear if No 10 will give the nod to Tory MPs to vote down the report.

Mr Paterson has said the investigation was unfair and helped drive his wife, Rose, to suicide.

You're Not Alone

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.

It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.

It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.

Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You're Not Alone.

If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
