ENVIRONMENT
The Goal - Less is More
The goal is to take back real control of how we treat the environment. Cut waste, live sensibly, and make governments and companies answer for pollution. Tax incentives just mask failure and enrich the few.
The Toxic Environment
The environment is now a direct source of poisoning. Microplastics and PFAS are found in blood, placentas, and drinking water, with 2024 studies showing exposure before birth. Plastic bottles are a major threat. They leach chemicals and microplastics into drinks, waste fossil fuels, and leave rubbish that pollutes land, rivers, and seas. These chemicals build up over decades, damaging organs and disrupting hormones. Heavy metals are another major threat, entering soil, water and food chains through mining and industry, traffic and sewage sludge, old pipes, mercury-laden fish, agrochemicals and mismanaged waste that locks toxins in for generations.
Government Control And Ideology
Governments are focussing on the wrong things and are the wrong bodies to oversee these complex issues. In the UK, government quotas and legal targets for renewables have far outstripped the available infrastructure, forcing costly gas back-up and turning implementation into a corrupt feeding frenzy. Subsidies and regulation create industries dependent on state support, while many “green” firms exist mainly through government contracts. Policy is also used to control daily life: Air Passenger Duty limits travel, and rules on diet, energy, and housing dictate behaviour under the banner of sustainability, often raising revenue without real benefit. Wrapped in ideology, environmentalism becomes a tool for expanding government power, with activists serving as instruments of state and corporate interests, while making us poorer.
CORE SOLUTION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Petitions
As always, purchase power is our main tool. But for the environment, petitions have proven particularly successful.
There needs to be a complete shift in political priority - away from net zero and a green industry putting profits before the health of the planet and of people and into stopping and removing toxins in our food, water, land, and air.
SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS
Protecting Our Health
Breaking Corporate Capture
Breaking Corporate Capture
Cut exposure by avoiding plastics, ditching non-stick pans and treated packaging, and choosing unprocessed food. Use Purchase Power to back firms that cut toxins and reject those that pollute. Say no to disposable goods and chemical sprays that trade convenience for harm. Each choice lowers the body’s toxic load, creating change before governments act.
Breaking Corporate Capture
Breaking Corporate Capture
Breaking Corporate Capture
Refuse sham offsets and token schemes, support firms that cut pollution at the source. Boycotts and buycotts expose greenwashing and redirect money away from offenders. At the political level, litigation and campaigns can break the cycle of subsidies and lobbying. The goal is to strip out empty fixes like carbon credits or “eco” single-use plastics and demand genuine solutions.
Resisting State Control
Breaking Corporate Capture
Resisting State Control
Citizens can use legal challenges, campaigns, and PACs to expose policies driven by revenue and patronage. Our approach builds independence: consume less, travel deliberately. Coordinated boycotts of subsidy-driven industries weaken the alliance of bureaucrats and corporations. Reclaim environmental responsibility from governments using it as a pretext for control.
