Better Transport

Experience: Over the past five years Richard has campaigned on a number of transport and environmental issues. As Campaigns Coordinator at CTC, the national cyclists' organisation, Richard worked to reduce the danger posed to cyclists and increase cycling levels. In 2005 he co-founded Plane Stupid, which has been instrumental in getting the media and policy-makers to recognise aviation's contribution to climate change.

Why I work for the Campaign for Better Transport:  "Time is running out if we're to tackle climate change. While I was promoting cycling, Government policy was forcing people into cars. This job allows me to do something about that."
