      No, but it should be applied to everything, not just the weekly boogeyman industry.

      All those out of season fruits and vegetables that get transported from southern Spain or Israel. All that plastic tat imported from China on a dirty old boat. Everything. Hell, put it on the price tags so people know exactly how much of that price is down to climate tax.

      Cry poverty? Increase the minimum wages then. Somebody has to pay, and it has to be the ones doing the consuming. Us. We won’t choose the cleaner option unless it’s cheaper, so make the dirty stuff cost more.
