On second thought, I do have some thoughts:
First: Yes! I agree!
Second: The other one that makes me uneasy is the idea of "payment for ecosystem services", which I have the feeling often comes down to paying people not to destroy natural resources that we *ought* to be able to take for granted. Somehow the idea of instead punishing people for destroying things (or polluting them, or whathaveyou) is taboo.
