there's a section on "invoking ecological wisdom", whatever that means.

i don't think a ban on single-use plastics is a smart approach, as it won't actually solve the problem. this is maybe an example of what is now an aging party adopting a fashionable position that isn't well thought through.

but, i recognize that there aren't good solutions with bio-plastics right now, either.

this isn't the same kind of pressing concern that emissions reduction is - we're not in a race against time, and we could potentially find ways to clean the oceans up. we've found plastic eating microbes; if there is magic in nature, it's called evolution. we know we can't ban energy, we need to transition from dirty to clean. and, likewise, we're going to have to shift from oil-based plastics to biologically derived ones, and we're going to have to be smart in pushing it through.

beside that, the section was about things like species conservation, and i don't have much criticism to drop regarding it.
