TASK 5: CAP 'N' TRADE

so essentially another movie about how us as humans are destroying the world we live in. this however focusses on factory emissions and how we can reduce the amount of damage we are causing.

the idea of a cap on factories emissions seems logical to me. given that most factories and large organisations revolve around $$$, it would be a sensible place to start. by charging factories for the amount of co2 emissions they produce we are creating almost an economic incentive strategy. i believe this will open up the minds of factory owners in terms of how to reduce emissions.

it is then upto us as designers to design for this to help factories reduce emissions. this not only opens up new areas for design but will benefit multiple parties with 'one stone' (environment, organisations, designers).
