Net zero emissions by 2050.

Let’s do it.

#NetZero

[ToryEnvironment @ToryDEFRA]

📢 We will be the first major economy to legislate to end our contribution to global warming by 2050 and go #NetZero.

💚 Conservatives tackling climate change and protecting our environment for future generations.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

📢 Today we are choosing to be the first major economy in the world to go #NetZero on carbon emissions.

Why? Because the planet depends on us coming together to tackle climate change.

So by 2050, Britain will no longer be contributing to global warming.

Confirmed: We're getting rid of ⤵️

🥤 Plastic straws
☕️ Plastic stirrers
👂 Plastic cotton buds

🗣️ @MichaelGove: "These items are often used for just a few minutes but take hundreds of years to break down, ending up in our seas and oceans and harming precious marine life." 🐟

[ToryEnvironment @ToryDEFRA]

Staggering from @UKLabour

@FullFact recently confirmed that Conservative councils recycle more than Labour ones: https://t.co/rEgzvfdl7P

🤔

Only @Conservatives can be trusted to take the urgent action needed to protect our environment for future generations

Disappointing that the government's plastics announcement falls short of EU proposals when ministers claim environmental standards will not lag behind after Brexit - @SueHayman1

[Josh Rendall @Josh_Rendall]

So pleased the @Conservatives are leading the way in protecting what is most important, our environment. Hope these plastics that are a scourge of the seas are no more from 2020. 🐬🦑🐠 @ToryDEFRA

[Michael Gove @michaelgove]

Today I am taking further action to turn the tide on plastic pollution. Items such as plastic straws & stirrers are often used for just a few minutes but take hundreds of years to break down, ending up in our seas & oceans and harming precious marine life #PassOnPlastic

We’re stepping up our fight against plastic waste.

Today we’re confirming a ban on plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds.

From next April these items will only be available to people with medical needs or a disability.
