George Parker, Political Editor for the Financial Times joins Mandy to discuss what it will look like for the Government and the people of the UK. How committed is business to pursuing the green agenda? Peter Stapleton of Greenscene and Raquel Noboa, CEO of Fifty Shades Greener join Mandy to discuss.
