Will never get over how the UK/Europe uses "scheme" as a perfectly neutral word. Over here if you have a scheme I'd expect you to be twirling your moustache villainously

In Victoria we recently got the Container Deposit Scheme for example, which gives tiny refunds on plastic bottles and I assume does something evil with them
