Yes, we need to tax vehicle size, not just because of emissions but also road space, parking space, and damage caused in collisions.

New beds? Where are the staff? If you don't pay doctors and nurses a wage you can live on, the beds will be empty, however many you buy. You can't put a patient in a bed on an unstaffed ward.

This is why we have to #JustStopPlastic.
No, recycling will not solve this. That's Conservative greenwash. This is a global issue. It needs a global termination of the root cause.
<div class="rsshub-quote">
The Ocean Cleanup: Rivers are the main pathways through which plastic reaches the oceans:
🔹≈100,000 ocean-bound rivers worldwide
🔹≈1,300,000 m3 of water moves from rivers to oceans (over 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools) every second,
🔹bringing up to 125 kg of plastic downstream - every second
