Few will argue that Earth truly needs more people. We guzzle resources, hog the best land, and spread like armadillos. Perhaps it’s time to tap the brake on the rate of our population increase. But how?
The Chinese have their heads if not their hearts in the right place with their ham fisted, big government “one child per family” plan. Even with that in place, however the Chinese increase, plus a free society would never accept it. The world needs a market driven solution.
When each person, or carbon unit [1], is born they accrue one Carbon Unit Credit (CUC). This entitles them to produce one new carbon unit, or human being, in their lifetime. A married couple would have two credits to work with. If they have two children they’re done. Their credits spent. But if they have just one child they retain a valuable CUC.
Naturally other couples will find themselves with more than two children. How will they live with the guilt knowing they’ve gone beyond self replacement and have added to the population problem?!
To balance the equation, the over limit family could use the under limit family’s surplus credit. But that’s a pretty big sacrifice the under limit family is being asked to make. What if they decide to have a second child someday? They deserve compensation. But how much?
That’s where the Carbon Unit Offset Foundation (CUOF) comes in. The CUOF will operate an exchange, acting as an agent between the surplus child family and the surplus CUC family.
Luckily you don’t have to wait until you’ve reached the end of your fertile years to help fight population growth. You can participate now by investing in Carbon Unit Offsets (CUO’s) through the foundation. This will give you peace of mind knowing you are part of the solution.
What does the foundation do with the money raised from the sale of CUO’s? After a modest management fee, it reinvests in population dampening businesses, such as alcohol producers, tobacco companies, and motorcycle manufacturers, thereby strengthening the forces that inherently reduce the proliferation of Man.
If you have a credit to sell, need to buy, or wish to invest in the future, contact the Carbon Unit Offset Foundation (CUOF).
Carbon Unit Offsets, because Earth has had it up to here with people.
