Treehugger has a nice post about carbon trading that made me think about 'carbon quotas'.
I'm fairly convinced that this is something we'll see in the next ten or twenty years. Every household will be given a limit of carbon emissions they can knowingly use, and cars, holidays and heating will come out of that with any extra costs resulting in a fine.
I'm also pretty sure that we'll see a few eBay like websites for trading carbon credits ;-)

Hi
Recently i have had no difficulty buying UK sourced veg, but now the weather has changed it will become necessary for us all to buy more from overseas. l buy Fairtrade and organic when l can and usually get good value. My family boycott certain stores like Tesco and M&S because of their Israeli connection, i am not a muslim, but l sympathies with them, even our choice of food is affected by this war in Iraq.
