Carbon credits for individuals, families, and neighborhoods?

Could cyclists trade their Carbon gaps to those who need more? Could childless people get an extra large consideration from the government?

"Every adult should be forced to use a 'carbon ration card' when they pay for petrol, airline tickets or household energy, MPs say.

The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain's CO2 emissions without penalising the poor.

Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights."
