An article in Infrastructure Intelligence has cited the key findings of Bright Blue’s latest report, Nature positive?. Bright Blue’s Senior Research Fellow and report author was quoted in the article: “The public strongly supports the government’s current policies to protect and restore the natural environment. However, the public expect to see the government and its agencies taking a higher level of responsibility than currently to conserve nature.
“The public marginally favours more interventionist policies for the protection of the natural environment over those which are financially incentivising. The public want to see higher fines for littering, minimum product standards, mandatory product labelling and bans on non-recyclable black plastic and non-flushable wet wipes.”
