You can go snorkeling in the rain forest but that sounds a bit weird. Bog snorkeling sounds normal, isnt that a bit weird.
No, our temperate rainforests were our rainforests.
Well there are definitely a few tribes located in them!
Surely the carbon taxes being collected should be used as compensation for people to stop harvesting peat.
The government missed a trick by not giving people using peat to heat homes priority access to the one stop shop scheme and target them before houses already heated with Gas/Oil.
Why should people who cut bogs be compensated? What’s the best argument, cus I see it a bit one eyed:
‘I have always done this.’
‘Ok well you shouldn’t have and you have to stop now’
‘I will continue unless you pay me’
‘Ok have this payment’
*Takes it continues to cut*
‘it wasn’t enough’
Why not just say – it is illegal to cut big, punishable by whatever seems appropriate.
Bit of a stuck up commentary. No reference to the people interested in bogging except to indicate they’re crimimals. Slating one thing when it’s a fraction of the habitats directive. Government inaction would fill a warehouse. Clearly he’s never worked a day in the bog. The EC is resiling from their green diktats this very week to appease the agri sector.
No one would cut or burn turf if there were an affordable alternatives and routes to putting them in place.

As usual this is a leadership issue.
