For people living in the EU, the price of their next car, home renovation and even local produce may soon reflect a climate policy that many have never even heard of. This new regulation, which comes fully into force on New Year's Day, does not just target heavy industry—it affects everyday goods which now face an added carbon cost when they enter Europe.
I love this! Canada had a carbon tax (which was used as a universal basic income) where the citizens got almost all the money back except for a small percentage put towards climate change solutions, health care, and such.
Thank you Europe! You guys show again the progressive way the world needs to go. I will gladly continue to focus buying European.
