LOl thanks for the laugh! Who knew that I'm already living the zero carbon lifestyle or darned near it? Except for the dogs, I suppose. Net zero tourism: they unveil it with a straight face. I'm agreeing with the zero tourism part...
I'm glad it made you chuckle Amy, it feels better to ridicule such nonsense rather than cite facts and data. People without reason cannot be reasoned with :-)
2030 headline: "Tourist arrested at Don Muang for trying to import hemp in shoes."
I think I'd go for the fried silkworms over the ants' eggs, if they haven't run out. Get some coolie with a rickshaw ready to run me to the shops otherwise.
And I guess there won't be any elephant trekking; the app may blow up on the amount of methane detected ....
Just wait until they all want air-conditioning, that should be fun. On a more serious note it is simply another way to extract more money by fewer participants. There have been some big investments by the big players over the last few years. They are looking to drive out the competition.
Yes carbon credits is a huge scam. Lots of pilot projects incoming here. Likely government to be formed has also promised 10k THB worth of CBDC credits for Thais connected to a digital ID and can only be spent within a 4km radius to "stimulate the local economy".
