How to spend rebate
• RATHER than give the £20 discount for council tax payers to the council for “green purposes”, the money would be better spent on rural public transport as that has much more effect on distances driven and hence carbon emissions.
I got a £20 rebate for direct debit cost reductions. How much did the council save? And why couldn’t it top up my requested direct debit charity contribution with some of its savings?
Carbon emissions are massive, but biodiversity is far more at a bottleneck.
If you do what I did, and give it to the World Wildlife Fund, or any other registered charity, you can qualify for charity tax relief, as has been the case over the last two decades.
