PERSONAL CARBON TRADING

The motion

That this House congratulates the Prime Minister on making climate change a priority for the UK Government; believes that, for this issue to transcend short-term political cycles, policies must be introduced which both include and, more importantly, engage every individual in tackling global warming and assuming some personal responsibility for their emissions; and notes that, in practice, a system of personal carbon trading would provide the most equitable, efficient and effective way of encouraging this development, and would create the necessary relationship between individual and global action.
