If you're intent on banning things, ban foreign holidays and flying to far away places.
Less aviation fuel pollution and folk should spend their money in the UK rather than foreign lands thereby improving the economy.

Every human on the planet is (To a greater or lesser extent) a resource consuming, waste producing, CO2 emitting entity, and we are in the process of adding billions more at NET global rates above one hundred thousand per DAY. Whether some, in some areas, use more, whilst others in other areas use less, is just a red herring, an irrelevance. because those who emit less generally have to endure very poor lifestyles, but who are (in time), doing their level best, to modernize, industrialize, and commercialize, (and who are we to say they should not?) so that they too can attain the lifestyle of those who consume more and emit more. Or do people believe that as a person becomes better off, they stick with the very poor lifestyle they had when they were poorer?
If we want to survive as a species, perhaps we should `ban' people from having too many children? Since population is at the root of so many of the issues facing the planet?

I'd like to see a battery powered brushcutter get through the stuff I hacked down this week.

Strangely enough I bought a Ryobi battery powered chainsaw, which is frankly weaker than mouse piss. It also lasts about an hour if you're lucky.

So, the answer to your preposterous question is 'absolutely not'.
