And it produces food. Now a company doesn't have to reduce carbon emissions....just of set it. So the only thing to change is the land stops producing food and employing people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old mum was telling me her electric bill is going up by £100+ a year so they said on the telly……she’s 89 and lives alone, if these people could explain how an old age pensioner paying an extra 100 quid a year is helping while we merrily ship millions of tons in from China and destroy mixed pasture at home then I’d like to hear it.
