What do you think about the tokenization of emissions? It's certainly not a silver bullet or likely even a good answer, but it could incentivize people to choose more sustainable options. This could shift reducing emissions to a form of social competition thus more people might do it. In this kind of system, people might self-motivate themselves for the fear of being held accountable, or just simply for presentable bragging rights.
- perfunctory 7y agoPricing emissions is certainly a good idea. EU is doing it - https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/ets_en https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/ets_en, but it's too weak, prices are too low. And that's kind of my point - politicians will never price it to the point where it harms growth.
