[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 8264121, member: 3563"] First question: you [I]need [/I] an audit? What does that mean? Have you simply to have had one done so that you can say yes. Or do you have to allow them access to it so that they can pass on the benefits up the chain? Personally I'd stop right at the first stage and tell them to fekk off. They aren't getting any access at all to this as its my intellectual property and they have no business interfering in that. Or even knowing if I've been stupid enough to do a carbon calculator and depressed the life out of myself by so doing. Secondly, I'd tell them to fekk off because no spreadsheet will actually account for carbon properly anyway. I'd just draw your attention to the following in the excellent article by Geoff Pickering in the Farmers Guardian: [I]There are several assessment calculators designed for farmers. I tried two of them. My current footprint was [B]248,000 tons/pa in one and 45 tons in the other.[/B] The astonishing difference reflects the calculators’ differing methodology and assumptions.[/I] It's one thing for huge companies to be splashing so much green paint at everyone's eyes that they can't make anything out, but when you see how fekking absurd this is you have to draw a line in the sand. It's beyond scandalous. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fginsight.com/blogs/blogs/farming-matters-geoff-pickering---net-zero-calculations-are-nonsense-129112[/URL] [/QUOTE]
