Now, a little while ago I promised a Dango tutorial. Now I've been massively busy, so unfortunately not one for me, but, I found one from the talented Maki!

Hope that'll keep you entertained, and I'll promise I'll make an other tutorial!

Let's assume that we decide to ration our ability to pollute. CO₂, DDT, CFCs — it doesn't really matter what, as this is just thinking about how.

It probably isn't sensible to count pollution rations ($PR for short) in discrete packets the way you would money, as the minimum unit of pollution is going to be a small number of atoms: dramatic headlines such as "PM causes twenty trillion trillion $PR of damage!" would equate to "PM burns a small log". I suspect a better way would be to fix the number of rations a person gets to be the same as the average income of that year, and determine the "value" of the ration based on that.

Spending $PR would be another matter altogether. As far as I know, the last time we had rationing in the UK was in and immediately after World War 2; how would we do it now, where cash and cheques are fading out, and virtually every adult has a bank account? Could we add a separate extra number to bank accounts so they keep track of our $PR as well as our money, and have the $PR debited according to a products' pollution cost? Could $PR be traded separately to money? And should it?
