Debate with Friends of the Earth on plastics in the oceans

You might think the EU would be more interested in genuine innovation than banning plastic straws, cutlery and cotton buds. James takes issue with FoE’s Julian Kirby on the EU’s plans

The EU wants to lower plastics waste by bans, and by haranguing people to change the way they behave. By contrast, James proposed large-scale technological solutions, such as Boyan Slat’s 2000ft high-density polyethylene pipe for scooping up plastics debris at sea. He’s still not convinced by Kirby’s, er, rubbishing of this noble initiative!
