Keep Environmental Issues on the News Agenda: Why It's Crucial

You are here: 

To keep the environment at the top of the news agenda, consistent reminders and active engagement are crucial. Despite the announcement of the Government’s flagship 25-year environment strategy document Cleaner, Green Britain, and initiatives like the 5p plastic bag tax and plans to eradicate ‘avoidable plastic’ waste by 2042, environmental issues often slip down the mainstream media's priority list due to other breaking news. This article aims to act as a consistent reminder that the environment DOES matter, encouraging individuals and collectives to share green initiatives, question government strategies, and hold pledges to account, rather than letting these vital issues disappear off the news radar. We don’t need to wait until 2042 to take action; there’s no time like the present to make a firm commitment to make a difference.
