A series of tweets from various users have highlighted concerns regarding the impact of Brexit on environmental protections in the United Kingdom. A user who has been working with environmental experts pointed out a significant gap in environmental law between the UK and the EU post-Brexit, with the findings published by The Guardian. The tweets suggest that vital green laws have been compromised, leading to potentially dirtier water, more pesticides in the soil, and the allowance of dangerous chemicals in products. Additionally, European lawmakers have expressed disappointment, noting that the UK, once a leader on climate issues, is now falling behind in almost every aspect of environmental regulation, which is seen as a disaster for nature and wildlife. The Guardian's headline reads 'Revealed, vital green laws destroyed by Brexit' as part of their #TomorrowsPapersToday feature, highlighting the gravity of the situation as the hashtag #Brexit trends.
UK ‘used to be a leader on climate’, lament European lawmakers - exactly as we feared. #Brexit is a disaster in so many ways & especially for nature & wildlife. UK falling behind “in almost every aspect of environmental regulation” - what an indictment https://t.co/0rspdiHvSM
