Want to destroy carbon? Now you can!

The Sandbag created an initiative to take pollution permits out of the system: Destroy Carbon.
Sandbag claims it is giving individuals and organisations the chance to intervene directly to buy and destroy pollution permits, taking them out of the hands of would-be polluters.
This is citizen action to reduce the number of pollution permits and hence to reduce the cap on CO2 emissions.

It comes with a cost, of course: the market price of permits plus Sandbag's operational costs (£14.78 per tonne), but includes an email to politicians to reduce the supply of pollution permits and a certificate.

  1. We all really need to make a combined effort at trying to reduce our carbon emissions, the ozone is depleting and climate change is happening way too fast. Where are our world leaders?
