[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7928040, member: 3566"] Especially if we can possibly make this actually happen; "The UK will go further than ever before to clamp down on illegal deforestation and protect rainforests, the government has confirmed today, thanks to world-leading new laws being introduced through the landmark Environment Bill (11 November 2020) Combined, the package of measures will ensure that greater resilience, traceability and sustainability are built into the UK’s supply chains by working in partnership with other countries and supporting farmers to transition to more sustainable food and land use systems. One of the leading new measures is the introduction of a new law in the Environment Bill which will require greater due diligence from businesses, and [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]make it illegal for UK businesses to use key commodities if they have not been produced in line with local laws protecting forests and other natural ecosystems."[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]But what I have highlighted makes it all meaningless. Many countries don't have the laws in place to protect the environment or wilfully ignore them if they do.[/COLOR] Do they even have a tick box for 'We follow all the local laws protecting forests and other natural ecosystems. We all need to follow the same rules. Are their NVZ's in Argentina? [/QUOTE]
