A therapist concerned about how we will "care for the Earth that supports all life" has been announced at the Green Party’s parliamentary candidate for Epsom and Ewell.
Susan McGrath is a counsellor and therapist who, until recently, counselled students at the University of Surrey.
She said: "I am standing as a candidate because of my concerns about climate change and the fact that all of the other political parties are paying lip service to really tackling the problem.
"It seems to me that it requires tough leadership, vision, commitment and the will to address this pressing challenge, all of which the Green Party embody.
"It also goes to the heart of all other issues including, economics, immigration and social care.
"If we cannot care for the most vulnerable in our society how will we care for the Earth that supports all life?"
Ms McGrath will be fighting it out in May’s general election with Conservative Chris Grayling, Labour’s Sheila Carlson, Liberal Democrat Steve Gee, and UKIP candidate Robert Leach.
