here are some bad taste ideas from me and some of my friends on other blog sites:...........

when old people eventually die and are cremated, are they regarded as fossil fuels and therefore subject to a carbon tax?

perhaps a whole new industry could open up here, cts (cremation trading scheme). everyone gets a ct certificate at birth, and they get redeemed (taken out of the persons assets [or ashes]) when the person is cremated.

people who don't expect to be cremated for a while can sell their certificate and invest the money and earn interest to buy the cert back when they need it.

certs could be traded on the stock market, and the price would depend on the weight of the person when they die (bigger weight, more carbon emissions). if your cert is for a 180 lb, and you only weigh 150 when you die, you get a credit .

next idea:..............

no fry zones over fukushima?

(well, I did warn you this was a list of bad taste ideas)

any more?
