The Environment - everyone's concern
March 2003
Sheila Pantry, OBE
From everyone's point of view our environment must be well cared for.
In particular we need to make sure that our industrial activities do not
pollute the world around us. Quite often people do not realise that
their work may affect the air we breathe, the water we drink and enjoy
for recreational purposes and the trees, plants and countryside around
us.
If you need up-to-date environment and integrated pollution
prevention control (IPPC) information and do not know what the law
requires you to do and you are constantly looking for essential
environment and IPPC legislation and guidance then don't look any
