UK poltical party environmental policy and my green policies

[mike]

Was just reading http://www.conservatives.com/Policy/Whe ... nment.aspx (have just stopped laughing) Dave the Chameleon - http://www.mydavidcameron.com/images/newdanger1a.jpg - talks about the usual twaddle and makes only one guarantee. A guarantee for businesses about not charging them too much!
And the other mob are just as bad - where they talk about "winning the fight for Britains future".
Does any political party have a useful policy on the environment or is it all just window dressing?

My best policy to help the environment is to make public transport useful and not useless. Take first scotrail as an example (not a blueprint for the future I hasten to add but merely an example of how rubbish public transport is).

I got the train on Friday rush hour, the ticket costs more than it does in the car to begin with, the train has three carriages. I've seen longer bendy buses and the thing was jam packed. Having marched through the ticket barriers which merely cause delays onto the train when I get off I am confronted by an orange jacket wearing employee wanting to see my ticket.

Policies
1. Have integrated public transport. Synchronise buses and trains - when a train arrives from a busy route have buses waiting to help them get on their way. Expand the underground using green technologies to develop this further
2. Ensure train lines are ran for best value - so that busy lines are not cash cows to subsidise smaller routes just by milking the people already on them. Make them affordable, get more people on them and use this improvement in quantity to deliver more effective services across the board.
3. Provide tax breaks for using the train
4. Stop house building along motorways. Redevelop, improve and expand current towns with strong public transport. Reduces traffic on motorways that creates bottle necks
5. Work from home incentivisation - give companies who can afford to have staff working from home a reason to develop home working. Broadband take up it now high enough to make virtual workers a possibility.
6. Look for opportunities to get people out of their cars.
7. Road works - road work cause more traffic congestion than almost anything. Make all road works be planned and on strategic improvements force the developers/planners to look ahead. Don't just make roads 'cope' with today. Build for tomorrow and build a useful infratsructure around them. Councils that don't do it have all them state owned cars, drivers etc removed and must travel by public transport to council business for the remaining term of their engagement within the process.
