BT $ 18.5 1.6 million 71 Low-carbon and renewable sources provide 98% of its electricity in Britain, saving $1.1 billion. Adding 38% reduction in vehicle emissions almost doubles savings 5. Alcoa $ 23.5 8.9 million 26 Slashed emissions of perfluorocarbon (PFC) gas from aluminum smelters by 80%. Expects annual cost savings to reach $100 million next year 6. IBM $ 96.3 1.7 million 38 Tonnage cuts are from just higher energy efficiency. The reduction triples if other CO2 and PFC cleaning-solvent emissions are included. Total savings: $791 million

90. The world.. … .is thinking only in terms of Cap and Trade systems or Carbon Tax regimes as a means of reducing carbon in our economies. These make sense for large emitters. These are either too difficult for most consumers and are simply punitive ways of seeking to price carbon.
91. An alternative… For every verified action that a citizen takes to reduce his or her footprint he/she is awarded Green Credits . The credits are redeemable as tax deductions . E.G. one Green Credit for one tax dollar
92. For example… In any given year… Reducing electricity consumption by 1Kw = 1 GC Buying a low carbon emissions car = 3000 GC’s Insulating your home = 1000 GC’s Installing ground source heating = 2500 GC’s Reducing water consumption by 10Liters = 1 GC etc .
