 <\/p>\n

UK newspaper The Observer<\/i> has just published its “Green Power List” for 2011, including celebrities, royals and people who own a lot of cars. Reaction hasn’t been entirely positive<\/a>. And for good reason: the list was notable for who it excluded. Not a single Chinese or Indian was named, and very few politicians or businesspeople. In response, the team at chinadialogue<\/i> has selected 20 people we think really matter. With apologies to Brad Pitt.<\/span><\/p>\n
