WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE AND CITIZEN IN A Fundamentally, it’s about the relationship between state and citizen. And this is what’s foremost in my mind right now: what should we, as citizens, expect of the state? Above all, surely we want the state to keep us safe from crises, be they immediate, acute and obvious, like COVID-19; or slow to develop, but nonethelessthreatening, like
A LESS IS MORE APPROACH WILL BE BETTER FOR HILL FARMERS It will position hill farmers to exploit a trend toward a ‘less and better’ approach to meat consumption, in an era when the public increasingly wants a ‘story’ behind the food they eat.

This is a guest post by Peter Lefort, Project Officer for the Community Action Group network, an organisation that supports 40 sustainability groups across Oxfordshire.. Climate scepticism is now a term as pervasive as climate change itself. It is tempting to view the battle as one fought between two sides, but in reality climate scepticism is so broad an idea, covering everything from PLASTIC WAS INVENTED TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, SO BEWARE OF Plastic was invented to save the environment, so beware of the next solution. Plastic has been in the press a lot lately for the damage it has been causing to the world’s oceans, but it might come as a surprise that its invention is intricately linked to an effort to avoid an environmental disaster.

It was originally published by Business Green. The Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng recently updated MPs on the prime minister's Ten point plan for a green industrial revolution.
