This proposal has me thinking.
What if we priced carbon, biodiversity, food production, health and wellbeing into a lot of our taxes relating to property, land and business?
So if you sell/buy a house, the taxes paid are reduced if you have a low carbon house.
If you're a business but can transform the area around your building to be more sustainable, we give a tax break.
A large landowner starts being rewarded for sustainability, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, access to land and food production?
(At the very least, no heavy carbon emitters or similar should get any subsidy or tax break from here on in).
I know I'm dreaming things that most politicians won't support - but should we start calling for a way that incentivises landowners, business and individuals through sustained influence in thier finances?

Yes.
But politics.
Indeed. But maybe we need to ask more...
