- The latest Youth Forum research on students and sustainability
- Recycling: are we going far enough?

*The parliament committee concluded that PBSA's inclusion couldn't be removed by subsequent amendments. It is expectd to be voted down at stage 3, when all party leads (except The Green Party) confirmed there is no appetite to include PBSA. All parties gave speeches confirming this. An amendment to allow 28 days notice is being made to try and appease this under exceptional circumstances and to reflect industry best practice.
