It also suggests making public transport cheaper, urging car-sharing practices, preferring high-speed trains to planes and incentivising walking and cycling. The committee said increasing the number of electric cars on the road will have a positive impact, too.

Meanwhile in the real world! No cars on Sundays .... does that mean I've to walk or cycle to work on Sundays? It's only 25miles .... I might as well take a camp bed to work on Sat & stay over. Perhaps these oppswits that dream up ideas like this only work 9 till 5 Monday to Friday & think the rest of the world does the same!

They are just justifying their fat salaries.

I could add a few more on for them.

Reduce foreign holidays.

Buy less tat from China.

Make it compulsory to give people hitching a lift.

Ban snow making machines at ski resorts

Compulsory working from home

Shower or bath once a month ( and share).

The Environmental Audit Committee, have you ever heard of them? The article calls them a 'Government Committee', no, just another think tank who, as Varche says, are fighting to justify their existence.
Nothing to see here, move along please.

Here's a list of all the stuff they waste their time on

https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/62/environmental-audit-committee/

If all any of these measures are introduced, the Uk will become even less competitive, if that's possible.

It starts with 'nudge' policy then slowly becomes the norm.

Sunak and his like want to see the end of cash to be replaced with CBDC (central bank digital currency) There will be no privacy then and you may be unable to buy many items regardless of how much money you have in order to save the environment.

Unless it comes via Amazon or Chinesey sources (usually the same thing).

No foreign holidays can bog off.

And they do one if they think I am going to spend the same amount of time using public transport to get to work as it then takes me to fly to New Yoik :-X assuming that my report time is suitable for me to even get there.

Many of the issues we see now - like diminishing quantities of coal and the emissions from previous use, deforestation, etc etc - are the results of previous generations doing just that. At some point, Prince Andrew Rules apply and somebody has to pay the bill. If we continue with our profligate use of energy and resources we will end in a bad place of our own making. And that is a mind boggingly moronic thing to do. Perhaps we could call it the Prince Harry Effect? ::)

Most of the rural places rely on propane tanks for their gas supply. So why they think that's going to work is anyone's guess. Unless it's a California thing to screw the rest of the country.

They just banned certain trucks from being able to access the container ports. Which will only screw up the supply chain even more. The next step will undoubtedly be to ban all ships unless they are electric...
