Reduce the recreational consumption of fossil fuels
In our lifetime our extravagant use of fossil fuels will be regarded as being irresponsible bordering on reckless.
There could hardly be a stronger demonstration of our commitment to reduce fossil fuel consumption and its associated green house gas emission than a policy of reducing leading to banning the recreational use of fossil fuels.
Initially, the Government should legislate to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel within 5 years in three convenient divisions:
1. Air: For mico-lights, light-aircraft etc.
2. Sea: For jet skis and motor launches etc.
3. Land: For quad bikes, motocross and recreational 4x4s.
Commercial recreational activities should be preserved for the short term but a significant green tax should be levied if they intend to continue trading beyond the 10 year point.
Eventually, legislation should be considerd for all recreational fuel burning.
