Welcome to the TSR Big Discussion! The aim of this project is to get people thinking creatively about the big issues facing society, and brainstorming potential solutions.

For our inaugural discussion, we're tying in with TSR Goes Green to look at an environmental theme. The prompt for this discussion is therefore:

What one policy should be top priority to protect the environment and/or limit climate change?


Your idea doesn't necessarily have to be politically doable in the short term, but it should be something that, assuming there were political will, could be done in the real world.

Get discussing!

I think industrial meat and fish farming should be banned to prevent further rainforest destruction. I don't have a problem with people eating meat per (though I have stopped 2 friends on separate occasions eating octopus since watching My Octopus Teacher) but it needs to be scaled back to smaller more sustainable farms where arable farming is good for the land and people only consume what they need (e.g. eating fish they catch themselves or chickens they rear themselves), rather than eating mass-produced processed meat.
Improve public transport, even you’re like me and don’t care about climate change, improving public transport is for the greater good.

Public transport is too expensive and inefficient in this country.
