Carbon Credits for real people
Personal Carbon Credits (PCC) is a possible solution to reducing CO2 emissions and limiting Climate Change.
The basic idea is everybody is given a number of PCC's to spend on petrol, oil, flights, cruises. When these have been used up, more can be purchased. So everybody is part of the solution. More info below.
Every Lensmaster takes time and effort creating a Squidoo Lens. You can reward the effort by casting your star vote. This is also very good as it is added to your Profile history. What star will you give me?

If you new to Squidoo, and have never made a Lens, here's how to do it.
Personal Carbon Credits
In the UK during the last war, the government issued ration books with coupons for a range of basic foods and petrol. This ensured that everybody, rich and poor had the same. The idea behind Personal Carbon Credits (PCC) is the same.
We all contribute to Climate Change, some more than others. If everybody had the same basic, no charge, credits, which would be used against the purchase of petrol, heating oil, coal, flights, etc. This would encourage less use of these products and services. It would promote more efficient use of heating, cooling and insulation.
As the article in the Guardian Newspaper commented, people on low incomes, and state pensioners, do not take many holiday flights and run gas guzzlers, and so would benefit from selling excess credits.
The greater users of fossil fuels could purchase more credits, but as this is will cost money, will make people consider changing their life style.
This is a hot topic and below you can take part in an on-line debate to pass your views.
