5.1 Don't wait around

Doing nothing is no longer an option at a time when the consequences of human activities on the environment are becoming visible to all. If that's not enough to convince you, future regulations, which are becoming increasingly restrictive, will eventually do so for you.

So take the bull by the horns rather than simply complying with successive European directives. Being proactive will not only enable you to take control of your future, but also to be better prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
