Welcome to the February CLASP news round-up.
Highlights this month include:
Australia - move for another statewide ban on plastic bags
Plastic shopping bags look likely to be banned in at least one state under a plan to be tabled when parliament resumes next month.
Adelaide Now reports that West Australian opposition environment spokeswoman Sally Talbot announced today she would introduce a private member's bill to ban plastic shopping bags, of which it is estimated some 400 million are used in the state each year.
Lancashire Biodiversity Partnership would like to invite you to an event based around urban biodiversity and greenspace.
The afternoon event will explore the potential and practicalities of embedding biodiversity in urban greenspace schemes, drawing upon organisations, expertise and case studies set to inspire us to build upon the already demonstrated aptitude in Lancashire.
Wednesday, 27th January from 1:00 - 4:15pm at the Barn, Berkeley Drive, Bamber Bridge, Preston.
For more details, see the attached leaflet.
