Leadership with courage and vision

Cornwall has the opportunity to be a pilot of sustainability - 8.5% of people in employment are part of circular economy industries, it is small enough to be studied and for things to be tested.

But it needs leaders who have ideals, vision, intelligence and courage, who are willing to take hard decisions that thou not always popular may be necessary to lead us to the place where we need to be.

No schizophrenic approaches such as some that have been seen - declaring a climate emergency while promoting airport development.

So what I would like to see is courage in the leadership to lead us into a better future. No going back to normal please, let us move forward.

How? Moving to sustainable industries (and away from the others) - invest in renewables, support community energy and co-housing projects - limit new homes by favouring renovations, limit second homes, subsidising energy efficiency improvements, requesting new builds to respect EE and natural habitats - protect the few old forests on top of planting new trees - implement recycling schemes that work - create cycling routes - invest in bus and trains including high speed train to Exeter Bristol and London and subsidise the costs so it is affordable to all - no funds/subsidies to air travel - education education education.
