for the environment

• Awareness building in relation to how people harm the environment and how they can avoid doing so.

• Lower emissions in a short period of time without necessarily heavy investment, draconian restrictive measures, or unknown technological leaps - ideally the system should be set to give less allowances than what would be necessary to maintain the current situation. Decreasing emissions is, after all, the objective. Therefore, either through higher awareness and altruism or through simple market dynamics and greed, emissions would tend to be decreased. If they are not, then the State will have extra income, which it can then direct towards other measures lowering emissions, i.e., the environment either wins, or it wins.

• Especially if applied to the home and not only to the road, it should lead the economy in the direction of less polluting sectors of the economy

• It should promote environment-friendly innovation
