20k for getting off your arse

>Whoever ends up with them disks could make more than £20k, every day, easy.

This is just a way of encouraging civil servants to do the work they are paied to do without all that "yes minister" carp

7.3Kg of CO2 per tree per year,

or 44 trees for a 200Watt PC

Or 4.5 Kilowatts total usage for 1000 trees

or one and a half kettles on continuous boil
