Alex Avard - Southdown

I first moved to the city in 2013 to study at the University of Bath; ten years later, and I haven't looked back since, now working on environmental campaigns for an international non-profit.

I am part of the Green Party because I believe that they represent the kind of genuine change for the better that we drastically need to see both in this country and around the world, especially with regards to the climate and biodiversity crisis.

My generation has grown up watching our natural environment deteriorate in front of us, and so protecting our world and bringing about climate justice for those most affected by the crisis are hugely important issues close to my heart. Leading on community initiatives such as local litter picks and awareness-raising events have been an important first step for my involvement in this area, but I would love to see Bath & North East Somerset lead by example in taking even more drastic, urgent action for the health and future of our planet.
