A new credit card called Doconomy is now working with Mastercard. This will allow you – or others in the system – to monitor your personal CO2 budget on every purchase you make. The card cuts off spending when it hits the carbon max that has been determined for you.
This credit card follows on the heels of a study in the Journal Nature in August 2021 calling for “personal carbon allowances” that would monitor individuals’ CO2 emissions through smart meters and tracking apps. The personal carbon allowance also tracks food consumption for rationing. Future credit scores may be based on browsing history as well as debt history.
Doconomy’s new CO2 monitoring card boasts that it provides 90-million consumers with carbon footprint insights, and it aims to reach 1-billion users at COP26 in November. It is voluntary at present, but the goal is to create a mandatory monitoring system similar to China’s social-credit score program. -GEG
