Carbon co2 account balance
nöd mini idee, sondern am andri sini
Core Principle:
Every human on Earth receives an equal monthly CO₂ allowance on a personal Carbon Account—a kind of digital CO₂ wallet. For every purchase, alongside money, the buyer also “pays” with CO₂, based on the product’s actual emissions (from production to delivery). This creates a true-cost economy, where CO₂ becomes a real and limited currency.

Key Features
- Equal COâ‚‚ Budget:
Every person gets the same monthly COâ‚‚ quota (e.g. 200 kg/month), independent of income, status, or nationality.
- Dual-Payment System:
Every purchase deducts money and the product’s CO₂ footprint from the buyer’s account.
Example: 60 liters of gasoline → Pay ~$100 + 160 kg CO₂
- COâ‚‚ Chain Accountability:
Companies also pay in CO₂ for upstream emissions (e.g. oil company → petrol station → customer). This integrates entire supply chains into the CO₂ economy.
- Declining Emissions Budget:
The COâ‚‚ quota per person reduces over time (e.g., linearly each year) to reach global climate targets.
- No COâ‚‚ Trading Market (Speculation-Free):
COâ‚‚ cannot be traded like stocks. However, unused COâ‚‚ can be sold once, directly to other individuals (e.g. poor to rich), allowing voluntary redistribution without enabling speculation or large-scale market manipulation.
- COâ‚‚ Removal Becomes Profitable:
Individuals and companies that capture COâ‚‚ (e.g., direct air capture, regenerative farming) can generate negative COâ‚‚ credits to sell to others.
- Rewarding Low Emitters:
Vegans, minimalists, poor communities, or anyone with a low-carbon lifestyle will have CO₂ left over—which they can sell to heavier emitters, thus gaining income.

Advantages
- Natural Incentives Without Command Economy:
Unlike central planning (Planwirtschaft), this system doesn’t prescribe who can produce what. Instead, it uses free market logic with a universal CO₂ constraint, making it more efficient and resilient against lobbying.
- Fairness & Justice:
The system is inherently egalitarian—everyone has the same CO₂ rights, and those who consume less are rewarded.
- True Cost Pricing:
The externalities of emissions are internalized into every product and decision, correcting a core flaw of capitalism.
- Scalable & Adaptive:
The system can scale globally, adjust the per-person COâ‚‚ budget each year, and drive innovation in low-carbon products without banning or micromanaging sectors.

đź§ Optional Enhancements
- COâ‚‚ Wallet App: Shows monthly balance, history, emissions breakdown, and tips to reduce.
- Transparency Labels: Products have CO₂ “prices” visible at the point of sale.
- Global COâ‚‚ Ledger (Blockchain?): Ensures integrity, avoids double-counting.
