It is yet again a case of do as we say not as we do.
Angela will happily raze wildlife and natural resources to the ground, with impunity, to meet
Labour's targets for new build housing....houses that those who live in Cornwall probably won't get to see, except from the outside.
At the cost of our green spaces, flora, fauna, birds and farming traditions, these 'homes' are at best only affordable if you work outside of the county.
After the abject failure of Labour initiated project HS2, the wholesale damage and destruction to the environment, which was continued by the Tories and then abandoned last year, you might think that any reasonable party would look again at the decimation of the land on which we, along side whole eco systems, live but it seems not.
How then can any one trust the Carbon Burden which is constantly quoted by the "climate crisis" evangelists and our responsibility to 'become net zero'. The Climate And Nature Bill seems at odds with the Party's drive to build more houses. Factor in the increased emissions from building these abodes, additional heavy plant, concrete production and it's use has a significant negative impact on the environment. It's a major source of carbon dioxide burden (which we all know is a terrible awful horrible thing *sniggers)... it uses a lot of water, which in a county often suffering hosepipe bans, is rather more than concerning, and it depletes sand supplies. The extraction of raw materials for concrete production can also damage soil and vegetation, which leads to issues like erosion and pollution. Tarmac, (also known as asphalt for those not in construction), can also be considered a significant contributor to air pollution, particularly in hot weather, as it releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, making it a concern for environmental health, especially in urban areas where large expanses of pavements and roads exist. In fact In the UK, the construction industry has a significant environmental impact, primarily contributing to air pollution through large particulate matter emissions, and is considered a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for roughly 25% of the UK's total 'emissions' due to the energy used in construction processes and the embodied carbon within building materials; this is particularly concerning as it includes the production, transportation, and disposal of materials throughout the life time of these buildings....
Seems rather at odds with the premise of the CAN Bill don't you think?
