#299: Turns out nature IS worth something

Last Thursday's Guardian newspaper (this is the best paper for these sorts of stories) has an article on a new report by the Green Finance Institute which warns that further breakdown in the UK’s natural environment could lead to a 12% loss of gross domestic product (GDP) by the 2030s.


It explains how our government's current disregard for nature is going to have drastic consequences.



I will unpick this report a little more once we find out how this links with the proposed specifications. I hope something on the real value of nature is included.
