THE
GUARDIAN THURSDAY
11 JANUARY 2018 - Theresa
May has said her government is serious about improving the
environment after pressure groups gave a lukewarm response to a 25-year
green plan, praising its ambition but warning that it lacked sufficient
proposals for immediate action. May’s proposals were also criticised
by Jeremy
Corbyn, who said her pledge to stop all avoidable plastic waste by
2042 was “far too long” to take action.
