We've written about single-use plastics before, so, it's always nice to read good news of a policy being implemented, and having an impact.
However, as this article by edie.net acknowledges, we also know just how much of a problem it can STILL be trying to dispose of used in packaging, in particular... so there's plenty of work to be done.

There's only one topic of conversation this week with our new Prime Minister, so we thought we'd join the party, so to speak.

The article talks about the opportunities presented by the green economy - not just for profit - but also to make us more adapted to climate change, the impacts of which are already being felt.
As they (perfectly) put it...
"Rather than sliding down the list of Labour’s priorities in favour of economic growth, nature must be recognised as being inherently intertwined."
As so much of our own work traces back to the environment, sustainability and community, we sincerely hope that the new PM has each of these things as priorities in his forthcoming 10-year plan.

Newly appointed Prime Minister Andy Burnham has set his sights on revitalising UK industry. Whether he succeeds or not will depend on how ready he is to prioritise Britain's natural capital.
