UK’s Environmental Organizations Calls Government to Ban Pollution Causing Plastics

Environment

On Tuesday, 20th July 2021, an alliance of several environmental organizations of United Kingdom have warned that, the government of United Kingdom is falling behind the other countries in Europe in the process of tackling the pollution caused by plastics.

In an open letter written to Rebecca Pow, environment minister of United Kingdom, around 21 organizations including Keep Britain Tidy, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and City to Sea have been subsequently urging the government of United Kingdom for matching the ban of items, that are outlined in the Article 5 of the Singe-Use Directive of the European at the very least.

The Directive, which is going to see the most polluting plastic banned in the country, had been scheduled for being incorporated in the national law and it is also applied across all of the European Union countries, and in spite of the claims for being the leader on the problem of plastic pollution across the world, the government of United Kingdom has so far chosen for not legislating the same bans, while being the only country in the continent of Europe listed in the top 10 plastic polluters across the world.

The government of United Kingdom has legislated for banning the cotton buds, stirrers and straws, and the open letter from the environment organizations says that, the government of United Kingdom is not only failing to take the lead on the process of tackling the plastic pollution, but it has also been failing behind its European neighbors and has also devolved the countries within the United Kingdom.
