About
Carbon Allowance Trading Platform
A regulated platform where individuals can buy and sell carbon allowances. Every citizen gets a base allowance and if you wish to spend beyond this, you must buy extra from someone whose usage is below their allowance. This allows individuals at least some control and choice to avoid state allocation mechanisms.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea
