Loading player...
We’re into the final stretch of 2018, but don’t worry, life will go on and we’ll just put different numbers to it. There have been some encouraging moves in the policy sphere of environmental intervention, regulation, whatever you want to call it, in the past year. Breakthroughs in limiting single-use plastic packaging, upticks in the recycling figures, and more renewable generation coming online.
