Transport

Our traffic is in a jam

There is too much traffic on our roads which causes congestion and climate change. We need to stop building roads and start to change our travelling habits by:

• using different kinds of transport - bicycles, buses, trains and walking
• travelling less often - using local facilities, working from home.
• driving more efficient cars.

Air travel

It's not just cars that cause the problems. Air travel is another culprit:

• fastest growing cause of climate change in the UK
• air pollution
• noise pollution
• road congestion
• damage to countryside.

And airlines don't pay tax on fuel.
