Sweet nothings: What hot fudge sundaes have to do with a PFAS lobbying push
Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories and bring you up to speed on the latest developments in environmental policy.This week, ECO Chamber host James Agyepong-Parsons speaks with deputy editor Tess Colley about the chemicals industry’s attempts to influence UK politicians on regulating forever chemicals. But some experts have warned that their attempts to dissuade politicians from moving against PFAS chemicals like fluoropolymers are using “scaremongering” tactics from the ‘Big Tobacco’ playbook. The team will also speak with the Wildlife Trust’s senior land use policy manager Barnaby Coupe about a report published by the charity this week revealing the billions of litres of manure produced every year from intensive pig and poultry farms – and the environmental impact. PLUS: The slaughterhouse fined for pouring blood into a stream, the new leader of the Green Party and DEFRA’s new flexi-permit proposals for the industry and energy sectors. Hosted on Acast.
