England: pay parking with chestnuts

Leave a Comment
A group of parks gave the English their drivers the chance to pay his place with chestnuts, instead of money. People have been able to deliver a handful of chestnuts â€" each worth €0,20 (US $ 0.72) â€" and buy five to six minutes of space to park.

Each seed will be used to sponsor a forest in the United Kingdom and help offset the growing levels of vehicle emissions. "We thought it would be a fun idea to raise awareness and give a little back carbon emissions," said Ben Ziff, director of Town Centre Car Parks.

A maximum of 50 nuts thanks, until yesterday, € 12 ($ 36). The chestnuts could be used in the Merrion Centre and Clarence Dock in the city of Leeds, and in the Park of Tariff Street in Manchester.

In the Park of the Merrion Centre have been charged €2,62 ($ 7.97) for an hour of parking â€" which equates to 11 chestnuts. In the Park of Clarence Dock the price was €2,40 ($ 7,24) per hour-10 chestnuts. The parking lot of the Tariff charged €3,58 Street (US $ 10.86), or 15 chestnuts, for two hours and €4,77 ($ 14,49), or brown 20, for three hours.

The project ran until yesterday, September 22.
