People in the UK have been invited to give their views on the big issues concerning the environment.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is keen to hear the public's concerns regarding issues such as air quality, flooding and wildlife.
Environment secretary Caroline Spelman announced the new approach to ecological policy today (July 26th) with the launch of the Natural Environment White Paper.
Speaking at Kew Gardens, Ms Spelman said: "We have the opportunity to be the generation that puts a stop to the piecemeal degradation of our natural environment.
"We want to see a real positive change in the future of our natural environment - one which supports a stronger economy and better quality life."
Earlier this month PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed that the economy is closely linked to biodiversity.
According to the group's Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity study, the global economic impact of biodiversity loss accounts for up to 7.5 per cent of global GDP.
