THE BARE MINIMUM TO BE DONE and then the next barest before we bare all, like the blissfully unaware Emperor with no clothes

THE BARE MINIMUM TO BE DONE and then the next barest - before we bare all, like the blissfully unaware Emperor with no clothes.

1st barest: The existing 60 mph national speed limit on the M5 "for air quality" to be compulsory as the new maximum national speed limit.

2nd:  The 1973/4 fuel rationing coupons that were partly distributed but never brought into effect, to be re-introduced for every private motorist.  All business driving to be excluded, to begin with and, certainly all freight.

3rd:  The immediate cancellation of all extensions to HS2, Metro, Sprint and the W Mids WOM; and all work on expanding our armaments sales to all and sundry and, expenditure, including WMD.

4th:  Regional Fare-Free Public Transport extended to ALL to stop the discrimination against the young and middle-aged.

Members of the Young Christian Climate Network want:

1. Reinstate the foreign aid budget to pre-COVID levels 

2. Secure agreement from rich countries to at least double the decade-old promise of $100bn a year for climate finance

3. Ensure finance for climate-induced loss and damage

4. Push for debt cancellation so climate-vulnerable nations can better confront the climate crisis and other urgent priorities.

MY GREEN JOBS SUGGESTIONS:  Exclude jobs building extensions for HS2, Metro, Sprint and 87 Kms WOM and in armaments, including WMD expansion.

Instead, go for making buses electric on bus priority roads, trains back on railway lines, esp to finish the 120 Kms Black Country Railway and our regional 50 Kms of freight-only railway lines without passenger trains.

Small to medium sized homes that are built to Passivhaus standard with PV on every E,W,S facing roof.

PV retrofitted to every other roof and external/internal insulation to every building.

120 Kms Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway made fit for purpose as a major business, commuter and leisure route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Every towpath made available for 100% self-powered cycles, plus e-bikes, with an all-weather surface for responsible shared use.

GREEN JOBS in bringing in petrol/diesel fuel rationing for all private motorists as was done in the 1973/4  energy crisis.  Now it’s climate crisis.  Even more urgent. Meanwhile, join my voluntary car mileage reduction idea - 50% cut on my 2019 mileage for 2021 - and being achieved!
