[QUOTE="delilah, post: 9160155, member: 76758"] In a previous life I worked in the waste job. Government introduced a scheme called 'packaging recovery notes', putting a cost/value on each tonne of packaging. You recycle a tonne of paper packaging, you can sell a prn to a firm that produces paper packaging. ie it was a forerunner to carbon credits. Have taken no interest in any of it for many years, so can't say who has made money out of it and whether it has done any environmental good. However have just had a look, 12 months ago a paper prn was £32.16, last week it was £7.68. So, in a word, volatile. And that's a scheme that has been in place for well over 20 years. And whatever it's faults it actually deals in tangible materials. A tonne is a tonne. I wouldn't be doing any farm budgeting on carbon credits. [/QUOTE]
