Giving Compass' Take:

•The British government announced a 25-year environmental protection plan in January, but the plan wasn’t backed up with a legal framework. 

•Why has it taken so long for the British government to implement an environmental plan? Will it be a success?

•Here's another example of actions to protect the environment. 

Prime Minister Theresa May has announced that the government will be bringing in a new bill to protect the environment.

It would be the first environment bill brought in Britain since 1995, and will back up the government’s previously announced 25-year plan in law.

It hasn’t yet been confirmed what the reportedly wide-ranging bill would include, but the prime minister said it would tackle air quality and “opportunities” after Brexit.

“We will bring forward an environment bill and clean air will be part of that environment bill,” May told the Liaison Committee of Select Committee Chairs on Wednesday, according to Business Green.

Campaigners and activists have welcomed the bill as an important step in achieving the government’s 25-year environmental plan, following concerns that there was a lack of legal framework to back up the plan.
