eco gifts Energy Loop Hole
eco gifts Energy Loop Hole
Imagine if I ran a factory tipping loads of toxic waste into the river out the
back. Instead of stopping it, I just carry on selling my products and charge you
a premium which I then pay to someone else on the other side of the world to
stop them tipping a little toxic sludge into their local river. I would not do
anything to abate the poisoning of my river. In fact, as more people bought from
me because of my wonderful offsetting practices, my factorys production and the
resulting dumping of toxic waste would increase. Would such offsetting salve
your conscience? Or should you stop buying from me and try to have me
imprisoned?
