The 22nd April sees the return of Earth Day. So a year on and Ethical and Green ask if there have been any big changes since last Earth Day? We think there have. Over the last year environmental issues have been headline news and on the front pages of newspapers, compared to small articles previously.
America has a new President who spoke of environmental and green issues in his inauguration speech. It is now common place for Governments to have policies on the environment alongside the economy, health and education. This is progress indeed! Just today climate change made the news with the UK government still opting for coal fuel but pumping emissions under the sea! Interesting….Possibly not the best idea in the world but at least climate change and reducing CO2 emissions are on the government’s mind.
On a smaller level it seems that people at home are taking advantage of loft insulation schemes, buying environmentally friendly light bulbs and recycling. People are more clued in to buying low Co2 emission or green cars and other electrical items. All in all this is great news for the environment.
