Appeal from Friends of the Earth

I see these appeals quite frequently and sometimes I respond by making a donation ( small) or by sharing them on Facebook or in other ways. It would be interesting to me ,at least, to get a comment from anyone reading my blog. So over to you!!  I assume you can visit Friends of the Earth yourself if you want more information!!! This is just a part of their message. ................................................................................................................................

Dear David Our natural world is crying out for stronger protection. But the government’s fundamentally flawed Environment Bill just doesn’t go far enough, fast enough – and the environment’s in grave danger. If we don’t act now, nature will pay the price.  I'm Kierra and my team’s been campaigning to strengthen this legislation for the last 3 years. This environmental law was meant to be world leading. It was meant to restore and protect nature and give us hope for a greener, cleaner world. But right now, the bill does none of that. It’s just a token gesture.  We need your help with what comes next. This law will dictate the future of our natural world. And it's due to be passed this autumn, so it’s crunch time. This is our last chance to prevent the devastation that ecological breakdown will bring. So we need to push the government to:  Properly safeguard nature by closing the bill’s many loopholes.  Introduce strong protections – from curbing plastic pollution to cleaning up toxic air.  Bring in an independent watchdog fierce enough to make sure the rules are followed.
