Emailing your MP

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Whatever you write keep it short, sweet, and to the point. Do not rant, lecture or wander off down side alleys. If in doubt, cut it out. Your message will more likely be absorbed and responded to. I have found that less is definitely more when communicating with MP's. They are very busy people. When making claims of fact provide authoritative references as a footnote.
