Haven't moaned in a while. So here we go. Tell me if I'm too naive, but sometimes I feel that things could be so easy.
To start with, there is this waterless urinal. You might have seen it in a restaurant. I mean, whoever invented this thing, give the guy the Nobel Prize and make these urinals compulsory for every pub, restaurant, government building, university etc. How many water could be saved?
Number 2, why can't you abolish cars in the city centre like Montpellier (which is twinned with Glasgow btw) did? You can then even safe the money for proper cycle lanes and pedestrian zones because cyclists and pedestrian can simple use the streets. Beside exceptions for emergency services, give special permission to couriers, but increase the number of bike couriers and have low emission delivery vans. Effectively abolish SUVs and sports cars in cities in general by increasing tax by some hundred percent and/or set a petrol consumption (e.g. five litres). Subsidies cycle to work programs massively and encourage employers and employees o join.
To be continued.
