Forestry
Current forests, natural and planted, must be maintained on a sustainable basis, and expanded where possible. Forestry, wood and paper needs and production in SA must be adequately controlled so as to ensure growth where required, for local and export purposes, without degrading our existing resources.
   Smoking whilst driving will be forbidden. Smokers travelling on the road will only be allowed to smoke at designated stops along the road and not whilst driving or stopping on the side of the road. This will go a long way to preventing the destruction of trees, vegetation and in some instances homes through the flicking of lit cigarettes into the environment. Heavy fines will be imposed on those breaking this law.
   Small business must be considered for entry into the forestry industry, especially in rural, forested areas, and appropriate privatisation / unbundling of larger controlled forests must be considered to effect this. This should be done in a systematic, sustainable way and only in areas where there is a need for jobs and community building.
   South African air space must be scientifically monitored for its composition to ensure that we maximise our options of maintaining clean oxygen-rich air over all regions of our country, and forests, natural and planted, must be sustained and developed in order to achieve this.
   Where expansion of clean air / vegetation is desirable, consideration will be given to the promotion of various civilian actions, such as shrub- and tree-planting which may also be given tax-deduction status for both individuals and businesses where appropriate.
   As illegal destruction of bush / forests, natural or planted, leads to permanent degradation of our land, such activities will be penalised.
