Carbon Calculator Credit Card Measures “Personal Carbon Allowance”

Discussions floated around within various “academic” journals expressing the need for a “Personal Carbon Allowance,” or PCA. [source] Some argue that PCAs are the ultimate means of battling climate control.

How is a Personal Carbon Allowance to be used in climate control?

Well, each individual on the planet has a set number of Personal Carbon Allowances they may use per day. Once they have met that threshold, force is used to keep them from going any further.

So, for example, let’s say you are permitted 10 Personal Carbon Allowance each day as an American. The rest of the world gets 20, but, hey, such is the new world. Think this is just tongue in cheek? Nope. Giving some countries fewer PCAs than others has already been discussed. How do average Americans tend to fare with international treaties? [source]

What if you drive too far to visit your elderly mom, heat your house too hot in the wintertime, or use up too much healthcare and bypass your daily limit?

Possibly impose a hefty fine, or specialized thugs would show up to your house to arrest you. Whatever the “something” is, authorities will force you to bend to their will. 

Well, it starts with the financial system. And, with the new DO Black credit card, we’ve just taken a massive step towards Personal Carbon Allowance becoming easier to implement. In Sweden, where the crime rate is through the roof, and people insert microchips into their hands, the decision is that “carbon cost” be attributed to daily life goods. This decision has resulted in the creation of the Carbon Calculator.

Utilizing the Aland Index, Carbon Calculator allows patrons to see the daily carbon footprint they’re leaving on the planet. Let’s say you go to your local coffee shop and buy a latte. That may cost you 1 PCA. Then you go to the gas station and fill up your truck. That’s 6 PCA. By the time you’ve finished your run to the bank, grocery store, and post office, you’re well over your 10 PCA daily limit.

And so, your credit card shuts down

At least, that’s one option available with the new DO Black. Two different cards are available to the public (in Sweden alone, at the moment); the shut-off card and a more “educational” card that only alerts patrons about what their spending habits are doing to the environment. 

Personal Carbon Allowance allotments are not as far away as you might think.

Coming soon to a Great Reset near you… 

It doesn’t appear as if the rest of the world will have to wait long for this technology. According to Mastercard, they have integrated the Carbon Calculator across their global network. Mastercard Chief Digital Officer Jorn Lambert seems to give further proof we will see this technology soon by saying,
