Biochar Evolutionaries
Let's network biochar enthusiasts from around the world! I know many of us are connected through the International Biochar Initiative and other regional groups but some of us may have smaller biochar projects and applications that are flying below traditional radar.

About [Edit]
This article from The Environment Times examines water pricing, particularly as it relates to irrigation water. From the introduction:
"Anything scarce and in demand commands a price; this is one of the basic principles of economics. Water is scarce in some contexts (drought, degraded quality), so water pricing is increasingly seen as an acceptable instrument of public policy. Water-use charges, pollution charges, tradable permits for water withdrawals or release of specific pollutants, and fines are all market-based approaches that can contribute to making water more accessible, healthier and more sustainable over the long term. For this reason, oecd countries are working toward the goal of “internalising” the full marginal costs (including environment costs) into decisions that affect water use and water quality."

Will this control lead to the poor who have so little now having even less or will it level the playing field and bring a fresh ssip of water to so many dry mouths?
