The CCC's latest progress report called for what the King's Speech didn't- legislation to ban peat sales once and for all.
Peatlands are unique ecosystems which supports incredible biodiversity and store significant amounts of carbon. However, they are extensively destroyed for the extraction of peat for the horticultural industry. This extraction not only destroys precious habitats, but releases hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year (from peat use in gardening in the UK alone!).
