👥 These figures show how unevenly the health and environmental burdens of cruise pollution fall, often on communities who see little of the economic benefits.

Some smaller Scottish coastal towns experience 25 to 130 times more SOx emissions from cruise ships than from local cars.

In Southampton, just 46 cruise ships account for over half of all nitrogen oxide (NOx) and PM2.5 emissions — pollutants linked to respiratory and cardiovascular disease.

⚠️ Cruise pollution reality check:
Cruise ships dominate air pollution at the UK’s busiest ports, responsible for up to 96% of sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions.

🚗 Pay-per-mile charging is the right long-term goal, but giving plug-in-hybrids another tax break unjustifiable.

We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars.
We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment.

Nissan struggled with its transition in 2024 and 2025, as UK electric sales fell from 12% to 4% due to delayed model updates. The company left long gaps between retiring old EVs and launching new ones, leaving only the Ariya on sale in 2025.

⏰ Yesterday’s ‘Houses of Carliament’ event for our Large Vehicle Levy was a great success, with strong engagement from MPs and fellow advocates.
💰 The proposed levy aims to generate approximately £2 bill annually by ensuring heavier vehicles pay their fair share of road taxes.

⏰ Today the Transport Secretary launched a "swift and robust” review to fast-track Heathrow expansion cutting the process timeline by 3 years.
⁉️ But here’s the real question:
Where’s the clarity on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be produced at scale in the UK?

🚗💨 Take the example of a medium-range PHEV like the VW Tiguan versus a battery electric car (BEV) such as the Kia EV3: drivers end up around £1,500 worse off annually due to higher upfront costs plus extra fuel expenses.

🚨 New data shows plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are far dirtier than claimed.
📑 With the #Dieselgate trial unfolding this week, fresh evidence suggests plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) could be the next big deception.

🚗 PHEVs: the new greenwashing?
Plug-in hybrids are proven to emit up to 5x more CO2 on the road than what tests claim. The UK government’s U-turn on the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate has let carmakers double down on these models instead of going fully electric.

Millions of cars polluted up to 10x above legal limits, contaminating our air and risking thousands of lives. While the US fined automakers and forced fixes or buy-backs, Europe left up to 19 million suspicious vehicles still polluting our streets.

Biofuels are a bad climate solution and a huge waste of land, food and millions in subsidies. Burning crops for fuel only pushes us further away from our climate goals.
But biofuel production is only growing across the planet.
