Politics vs. the Planet: Who’s Winning?
Politicians often talk about protecting the environment, but their actions don’t always match their words. While some push for real climate policies, others support industries that contribute to pollution and deforestation. They may attend climate summits and launch green initiatives, but real change depends on whether they prioritize sustainability over short-term economic gains. Public pressure plays a key role in holding them accountable and ensuring that environmental policies lead to meaningful action.
Simonswood Stink: Toxic Waste Site Causes Illnesses and Frustration in West Lancashire Community
- Wednesday, 02 April 2025
Residents near an industrial waste site in Kirkby are complaining about a "putrid" smell that's making them ill, causing nosebleeds, and preventing children from playing outside. The site, operated by Windmill Services Ltd, has exceeded its allowance for waste storage and the Environment Agency has issued an enforcement notice to stop accepting more waste. Residents have been campaigning against the site for years, citing concerns about regulation, noise, and dust. Local authorities are working together with the Environment Agency to monitor progress and ensure compliance with regulations.
