Consider how all food has a CO₂ footprint and a lot of it is being consumed and then from there it’s metabolised into stored energy (fat). That’s like a waste of stored unused energy. So an emissions price was paid in creating that energy storage where it just remains unspent. Then if they drive a car, they create new emissions without first using the readily available zero emissions lipid energy.
So new rule: no car until the excessive energy reserves stored on the body are depleted. I’m one of them. Living by my own law, I peddle my fat ass around town on a bicycle.
Exceptionally, they can have an EV but it must be charged by man power, such as an exercise bike with a reverse motor to charge the battery. The power plug must be incompatible with charging stations.
You know that’s fascist, right?
intolerant to the point to fuel anti-environmentalists.
mass of fat person ÷ mass of car = probably less than 20%
I think a thin man riding a sports car or oversized loud pick-up truck harms our environment more than a fat PCA (who’s too busy to work on her health) who drives her compact at licensed speeds.
Good luck with your own cycling and weight loss. 🙂
Fat Tax
not a very effective solution; also human CO2 is only 1/20th of industrial CO2 emissions.
Bigger benefit would be to gradually drop all subsidies for Fossil fuel production and then gradually add on a larger and larger fossil fuel tax.
