Radikale Venstre (Social Liberals) proposed a climate tax on clothing, or, to be more precise, a weight tax of 50 DKK per kilo of clothing. Why? We are world champions at buying clothes. In fact, we buy an average of 10.2 kilos of clothes per year. In the last 5 years, we increased our clothing consumption by 36%, while decreasing the usage of repair shops for shoes and clothes by 50%.
10% of global CO2 emissions come from the fashion industry.
Besides the climate tax on clothing, Radikale Venstre also proposed a tax on beef, cement, biomass, one time use products, nitrous oxide bottles, and diesel. Also, they support the introduction of a flying tax and a road tax.
