[QUOTE="puppet, post: 7017805, member: 25962"] Burning woodchip is classed as carbon neutral so lots of businesses can just tick a box. We are wholly grassland, 10% trees, fully recycle all muck and slurry here but it contributes to a massive negative carbon audit as the grass it grows is not used in any mitigation. However, without fertiliser there would be little grass until mid-May and no second cut so stock would be drastically reduced but the fuel bill might go up. So instead of farming contributing around 10% GHG in UK we head abroad to get food where it is 23%. And some airlines say they will be carbon-neutral in the future just to kid us into travelling in a sustainable way. Makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
