Traffic lights to red only. Amber and green are redundant. All we need is a red light to tell us when to stop. In the absence of a red light, you go. Simple. No need to scrap all the existing traffic lights, just turn off the green and amber.

Escalating electricity tariffs. The first 1,000 kWh are cheap and then the price climbs steeply.

As part of the Defence Review they should calculate the carbon savings to be made from scrapping Trident. Then scrap it!

Making double glazing a requirement in all flats being letted out by a landlord for insulation. Also imposing a minimum energy efficiencey level for letted flats as a legal requirement. I.e. energy rating C.
