Excellent video on why we need to go fossil fuel-free asap.
By the spending of money to as little as possible, going for active travel (walk, cycle, horse) and minimising fossil-fuel travel as much as possible.
MY EXAMPLE:
Cruise at 65 mph on 70 mph roads; aim for over 70 mpg in a diesel car but have your own voluntary fossil fuel allowance. Mine is 7,000 miles max for 2021, a 50% cut on 2019 and twice to Scotland instead of six times in 2019.
Disinvest from fossil fuels, now!
End subsidies to fossil fuels, for flying and to arms manufacturers.
End major infrastructure projects immediately.
Invest in solar and small to medium-sized, Passivhaus standard, housing.
End HS2, Metro, Sprint expansion and go for FFPT and bus priority measures.
LEAVE CARS AT HOME INCENTIVE:
You get paid for every day you cycle or walk into work. Include motorbikes.
Voluntary one day a week scheme to leave the car at home, linked to free VED that is ended if three contraventions detected via speed cameras.
Active travel allowance paid to parents who leave their cars at home when dropping off children at primary school.
END free car parking owned by councils. Dudley MBC car parks are still free.
Remove VAT from cargo bikes on new bike purchases.
Voluntary car mileage allowance that I have introduced to cut my car use for, mainly, car camping holidays in Scotland. Six trips in 2019 cut to two for 2021; 14,000 miles in 2019 cut by 50% for 2021 to a maximum of 7,000 miles. Max 65 mph on 70 mph roads to bring over 70 mpg in my diesel car for the max 7,000 miles in 2021.
