Petition Impose high import tariffs on goods not certified as sustainably sourced

The UK government should place high import taxes on goods derived from activities which damage the environment e.g. Brazilian animal feed, wood, meat from land which was previously rainforest, the destruction of which threatens significant environmental changes with dire global consequences.

More details

Environmental destruction should not be profitable. When we buy the products of environmental damage we encourage and perpetuate the problem.

To shift U.K. consumption to sustainable activities we should make it expensive to import items, the creation of which threatens our safety due to the damage it has made to our environment.

When we stop paying for goods produced through activities which destroy the planet, these activities will stop.
