I'd just like to say what a load of nonsense... can anyone think of something that could cost more money & be less workable?
if you go over your limit, do you have to stop washing?
when going to the toilet, always make sure you get a receipt (thanks to Mr D Adams)
Is red wine carbon?-I have a regular supply of empties -will trade for re-fills ;D
In my best victor meldrew mode I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
What moron thought that up.

at least they didn't come up with the idea of "Oxygen Credits"
Give them time
Why don't they do something positive instead of taxing everything.
It's completely unworkable anyway.
We'll have to pay tax to f@rt next as methane does more harm to the environment than carbon dioxide.

Oh heck, I know how sprouts and baked beans treat me. ;D ;D
There is a suggestion that we should stop rearing cattle/sheep/pigs, etc for meat as they are credited with the most methane producing gases, and that humans should go on to a purely vegetarian/vegan diet.
Speaking personally, all you would be doing is transferring the methane production from animals to humans. ;D ;D

I don't know VM, all the members of my class eat meat and they fart far more than I do and it is far more offensive than anything I produce as well. I think lower junior teachers should be on danger money :-X
I don't know about that either, Valmarg, as your average meat eater chomps his or her way through six animals a year thats an awful lot of gases saved by giving up meat - and remember those six animals have to be fed for 6 months or a year before you even get your teeth into them.
