While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy'
More like 'Kill the Living World'.
Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.
From tomorrow, tax will be slashed on flights within the UK, a move that will help boost UK-wide connectivity.

ALT Tax cuts on domestic flights. We're introducing a lower tax band for passenger flights within the UK.

Are you still resisting the urge to tidy up your garden?
Well done you!
Letting the garden sleep in for winter allows insects to complete their life-cycles, ready to emerge when the weather warms up.

The City of Copenhagen wanted to know the overall costs and benefits of cycling for transport compared to driving, so they commissioned health economists to calculate it. Their findings?
- Every mile driven costs society £0.98
- Every mile cycled *saves* society £0.88
ALT Street portraits of six people and their cycles. Between them, they save taxpayers a fortune. Thanks folks!

By being less tidy in your garden, and leaving dead and hollow stems of plants unpruned over the winter, you'll be providing shelter for hibernating insects, including ladybirds, during the colder months 🐞
