The government is implementing a carbon equity policy, allowing conscious consumers to also make money

Number: 001440 Submission date: 2023.07.31
In order to prevent the irreversible consequences of global temperature rise exceeding 1.5 degrees, the government has decided to implement a total carbon emissions control policy. Each individual will be allocated an equal carbon emissions quota to prevent excessive consumption and overemission of carbon.
Specifically, carbon allowance will be deducted when consuming, and if one exceeds their allocated quota, they will need to purchase additional allowance from a trading exchange. Failure to do so may result in penalties, including imprisonment. However, individuals with surplus carbon allowance can sell them to earn money. Additionally, those who use the least carbon allowance each quarter will receive special rewards.

Experts applaud this policy, as it is seen as a solution to address two major global issues simultaneously: effectively mitigating climate change, thereby averting a global crisis for both ecosystems and human survival, while also helping to reduce income inequality.
