The Great Green Tax Dodge
Shortlist / Future / Campaign / Environment and Sustainability / 2019
Our planet is in a state of emergency; climate change and the destruction of our ecosystems has left us staring down the barrel of the sixth mass global extinction of all life on earth. But despite the urgency of the threat our government and its global partners do almost nothing. So if the system won’t change we will use the system against itself in order to force the government to take action to save our planet.
Introducing ‘THE GREAT GREEN TAX DODGE’: Award winning comedian and campaigning film-maker Heydon Prowse devises a legal offshore tax avoidance system using the same loopholes as the multinationals. We sign up businesses across the country to legally avoid tax to save the planet and we launch a nationwide advertising campaign to promote it. We then channel the money companies would have paid in tax into a green fund to finance Green New Deal style projects. This fund will be managed by experts who will strategically allocate money into cutting edge environmental projects.
