Sandbag - Real Action on Climate Change

Share/Save/Bookmark

http://www.sandbag.org.uk/

Sandbag, a climate campaign group argues for the reduction of carbon emission permits. Historically dirty producers have been given allowances as a result of lobbying agencies and pressure from companies. Sandbag argues against giving out these "free" or "hot air" allowances, and advocates for limiting the number of permits that are on the market. If we reduce the number of permits, we force polluters to come up with internal methods of reducing carbon emissions.
