Trains Back on the Tracks!: OBVIOUS - 'SACRIFICE TO SURVIVE'

Sunday 22 November 2020

It is urgent that we each must feel guilty about using finite fossil fuels and CUT BACK NOW AND FOREVER!

Therefore, and such is the intensity and growth of the Brexit/Covid/Climate/Ecological crises, we must quickly cancel (and pay the cancellation fees) for HS2, Metro extensions and Sprint diesel buses and bring in an immediate national 60 mph speed limit on every dual carriageway and motorway.
Use the money to immediately extend fare-free public transport to all age groups for urban travel but not intercity travel, to cut our ecocidal emissions. This action also works as compensation for the higher risk of Covid transmission.
Bring in an immediate household carbon allowance based on council tax banding to cut fossil fuel use.
Cutting deadly greenhouse gases means less damaging economic activity. Therefore, the wealthy like me must financially help all the very many that will suffer from loss of jobs. So do what must be done to ensure that no-one suffers financially. And get the solution jobs moving, immediately.
Do what Sir Jonathon Porritt advises in his new book, 'Hope in Hell: a decade to confront the climate emergency'.
Do what Sir David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg advise.
