Margaretha Guidone Explained
Margaretha Guidone (born c. 1956) is a housewife from Helmond (the Netherlands) living in Kapellen (Belgium) who became famous in Flanders because of her campaign for the environment and against global warming.[1] [2] She successfully urged politicians to go see the new climate documentary by Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth.[3] 200 politicians and political staff accepted her invitation, among whom were Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt and Minister-President of Flanders, Yves Leterme.[4]
Belgian federal minister of environment Bruno Tobback donated his speech time at the climate conference in Nairobi, Kenya to her.[5] She addressed the conference on 15 November 2006, but was unsuccessful at drawing much attention, for the international press didn't pay much attention to her.[6] Since then, she cancelled her year-long Groen! membership in favor of Tobback's Different Socialist Party[7] and published a book.[8]
