The Push for a Cashless Society
There is a growing trend towards establishing a cashless society, implying that all currency would be digital. In this system, individuals could be assigned a monthly carbon credit limit, which would dictate how much carbon dioxide they can emit. If they surpass this limit, their ability to make purchases could be restricted, effectively allowing the government or financial institutions to control individual spending habits based on environmental impact. This raises concerns about personal freedom and autonomy over financial transactions.
