Would be either a wrist band, key our swipe card which measures each individuals carbon emissions. It will measure:
- driving (how far and for how long, and also how environmentally friendly the car is)
- energy used at home (will be measured through power company for home, then the carbon points will be divided equally amongst who lives there)
- flying (distance and what type of plane) *this should try to be avoided as it attracts an extremely high amount of carbon points)
- when groceries are purchased, the carbon footprint of the food will be taken into account and points will be added from the food comsumed. (eg. Imported food will attract a higher amount)
- measure what waste is being recycled and not being recycled. Points added for not recycling.
There will be a government limit of carbon emissions produced per person, and if they exceed that level penalties / no rewards will apply.
This measurer will tally up the carbon emissions produced by each person. However if they choose to take public transport, ride or walk to work/school, or even just planting a tree, they’re carbon measurement may deduct some points.
