"David has lived in the West Hampstead area since the mid 1990s. From his early childhood and throughout his life, David has always been committed to environmental issues, particularly those relating to improving global biodiversity, preservation of woodlands and forests, and decarbonisation of our energy supplies. David is a management consultant and runs his own small firm supporting the transition of the energy sector to 100 percent renewables through smart technology. He is a keen cyclist, sports person and cat servant." - The Green Party

"Ultimately everything depends on our environment and I see my role as helping to reset the way we engage with and perceive our role within it to ease the inevitable transition to a low carbon economy. We urgently need to rewild to save our biodiversity and improve the ability of our land to absorb emissions, not just in the UK but internationally also and I hope to influence policy significantly in this area. I see both inequality and Brexit as related disasters and I will hold this incompetent government to account to help to address both of these critical issues." - David Stansell
