  ???? WATCH: On @BBCPoliticsWest I said it's clear that #BristolSouth residents are concerned about #ClimateChange and are eager for the Govt to do more to reach #NetZero.

  ♻️Recycling is just one of the ways we can help tackle climate change. If each of us re-used or recycled just one more thing each day, it would make a huge difference.

  We want to play our part in tackling climate change. But beware of scams offering green services.

  If we are to get serious about tackling #ClimateChange we must progressively levy tax on the highest polluting modes of transport. That's why this #COP26 the Govt must increase Air Passenger Duty for frequent flyers. This revenue can be used to fund green infrastructure & skills https://x.com/karinsmyth/status/1456305239108165658/photo/1 [Source]

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  This #COP26 the Govt risks falling into the trap of big, shiny spending announcements. If they are serious about tackling waste & #ClimateChange they must properly fund local government so we can retrofit council buildings - cutting carbon emissions & properly insulating homes. https://x.com/karinsmyth/status/1455504966081302529/photo/1 [Source]

  ????It was a pleasure to attend the Bus and Coach APPG event yesterday, showcasing UK-made zero emission buses. Delivery of the PM’s commitment to purchasing 4000 UK-made green buses is behind schedule.
