The 295 page White Paper, This Comnion Inheitance, plans to Lake 350 measures 10 counter environniental problems " fromi the streetcorner to the stratosphere." The person responsible, for the paper, Environmental Minster Chnis Patten, says thiat high inflation has made it impossible to put his plans for a fuil-scale green consumer revolution into action now. Despite this, he wants to introduce a Bill to make the polluters pay a new "incentive charges" which would compel themn to accelerate dlean-up programs. The charges would be passed on to the goods in tlie shops, and items produced by dirty processes using large amounts of energy would become more expensive. A target set is to rcuse hiaf of* al recyciable househoid wasîe by the end of dhe century. Labels will tel Conisumners .whether products can be rccycled. A tenfohd increase is pledged in the amount of* cnergy- produced by hydro, wind solar and wave power. Wider use of waste hecat from lectricity genenation will also be promnoted. Nuclear power will only be expanded if costs can be made competitive without compromising safety. Nuclear waste shouid no longer bc dumped in the sea. Mr. Patten also encouraged <, ople 10 care for the countryside more, and to slow down and save more gasoline. He pointed to his proposais as an unstoppable momrentum for environmental policies. Like all govemiment ideas, it has met with criticism. Some groups have labelled the program as a "damp squib" another said, "it was long on pictures and promises and short on action." The World Wide Fund for Nature condemned its failuire to protect wildlife havens. Personaliy, 1 feel that ail steps taken to protect our planet Earth should be applauded. The\problems wc face are global, and are flot al conf med to local issues - the way 1 sece it.
