This is brilliant. One of the best ecologic business ideas I've seen in a while.

  Yeah, I was really impressed when I heard about it. Makes you wonder if there are carbon credits in other areas (e.g. Computers, Data centres? Who knows). Water is also a big issue in Australia. With the right legislation in place around water you might be able to do the same with water-saving measures.

    Water is way easier. Could turn water into a working market in 6 months, given the political support. Water is something that is much easier to control. In fact, it's already controlled. All you need to do is limit supply (via mostly government "owned" resources) to whatever you deem to be a reasonable level, & charge for consumption. The smaller players (people with dams on their land) will follow. You could even have the government manipulate prices by literally 'flooding' the market when necessary.

  You can say that again. A few banks have carbon credit trading arms doing hundred of millions of revenue doing similar stuff (Replacing non-ecological friendly pots in Africa with greener pots)
