Yeah, ban cars in cities. Endless studies telling of the health benefits from active transport and we kill over 10,0000 a year from transport pollution diseases already.

Thers also lots of anecdotal studies linking pollition and cancers and there's just nore and more of it
Only fund active and public transport solutions going foward, no more new roads.. Even the freight solutions we do are insane, like the inland rail that stops at an inland port and then unloads loads everything onto trucks and has no extension to Gladstone.
Pollution and lifestyle.
