Banning something well into the future, by which time you'll probably be dead, might or might not be good politics, but meanwhile we still have to put up with whatever it is:
Futures Forum: UK to cut 'all avoidable plastic waste' by 2042
Futures Forum: The UK government "should bring in an environment act immediately"
The problem is actually how to achieve any of this beyond the bland proclamations:
Futures Forum: Climate change: and the Clean Growth Strategy
Futures Forum: Of banning plastic and ending reliance on Russian gas: "Another example of the law that says that the fervency with which the Government announces an environmental policy is inversely proportional to how difficult it will be to meet."
Promises, promises...
The Future of the Countryside
Costing the Earth
What do we want from our countryside and how much are we willing to pay for it?
Tom Heap chairs a debate in response to the Government's 25 Year Environment Plan focusing on "Public Money for Public Goods " and asks what are public goods? Is food a public good?
Should public money be used to support food production or conservation and the environment? How can environmental enhancement be measured? What will the landscape of the future look like?
BBC Radio 4 - Costing the Earth, The Future of the Countryside
Here's the plan:
25 Year Environment Plan - GOV.UK
And here are some responses from when it first came out:
Our reaction to the 25 Year Environment Plan | WWF
25 year plan | The RSPB
A 25-year plan for nature | National Trust
Countryside Alliance calls for clarity on Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan
And:
Theresa May’s 25-year environment plan is ‘fundamentally flawed’ and ‘a long way off’ say green experts | The Independent
The government’s 25 year environment plan is strong on catchphrases and weak on action - New Statesman
25 year plan for the environment full of empty promises | ClientEarth
