3) Make aviation companies pay tax on the fuel they use. Ordinary drivers have to pay this tax, why not billionaire corporations? Reinvest this in cheap train and bus travel so that travellers themselves still have cheap options to get around.

4) Ban single use anything really, but plastics particularly. 5) Give more power to local governments and community groups, there's lots of evidence that people make more sustainable and fairer decisions than corporations and developers do.

6) Reform land-ownership. Vast swathes of the country owned in tax havens so that a few rich people can murder animals for fun isn't benefiting the environment or anyone other than those few rich animal murderers.
