Caroline Lucas: ...not love, we cannot love what we do not know”. Therefore, getting more access for young people and all of us to nature, the kind of young people the right hon. Member for Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn) spoke about, is absolutely crucial to protecting it. While we talked about our love for nature, we had some hard economics, too.
