I wonder how that kind of reclamation project could be valued in terms of avoidance of waste, avoidance of expenditure of new resources, and the skill development of the person doing the work (in terms of either/both faster pace of the same value created in future reclamations, and/or future marketability of the skills towards a saleable product).

Taxing someone for feeding or educating himself seems like a small and natural next step. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputed_rent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputed_rent
