<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Five ways BC’s carbon tax shift can strengthen Cap and Trade]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Alison Wiley http://www.grist.org/article/cap-and-trade-or-carbon-tax-both/ Fri, 16 May 2008 04:06:40 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/cap-and-trade-or-carbon-tax-both/1 Carbon Reduction

I like almost everything Alan Durning writes and says, and I've had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I can agree with the both/and approach of this article. What's missing (from sustainability voices in general including Alan's here) is a re-envisioning of a healthy economy and people's quality of life in general. The implicit assumption in this article is still that quality of life has to rest on the old model of unlimited business "growth" -- but wait, that model is built on extraction of resources that are actually in the process of collapsing. For more about the different model I propose, see Diamond-Cut Life  http://alison97215.wordpress.com/

Be it a carbon tax or carbon cap, the effectiveness of such policies is greatly enhanced if it´s evenly applied across countries and economic sectors.
