Environmental education in Africa
Cap and Share
One of the greatest challenges facing humanity is how to drastically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. This 31 page publication by the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability (FEASTA) describes a global scheme to cut emissions in a fair way. This involves the issue of permits to individuals for which the main extractors of fossil fuels must bid before they can place their products onto the market. This 'upstream' control scheme will need to be managed by an international body.
