Easily solved.
Add a $10/litre tax to all petroleum products that enter the country.
Give everyone $2000 a month.
People who continue current average driving habits and buy their normal products are unharmed.
People who car pool or switch to a lighter vehicle or other transport method or purchas low local transport cost products win.

- Schroedingersat 4y agoWhy adjust for a feature? If it makes less emissions heavy food more competitive and the total is distributed evenly by population, then you're only worse off if your food emits more than average from imported fuel sources (and even then you're not unless exceptions are made because of imports and exports -- which could result in an adjustment being needed for trade balance and exporting emissions reasons).
