The government will launch an incentive system for people who purchase eco-friendly products or abide by a low-carbon lifestyle to save energy and reduce carbon emissions, the Ministry of Environment said Monday.
It will issue green credit chips embedded into credit cards in which cardholders can store low-carbon points whenever they use public transportation or purchase certified green products.
The cards will also reward low-carbon practices, such as riding bicycles and bringing one’s own mug to coffee shops.
The carbon point system has been operated by local governments that give people incentives, such as cash back and gift certificates to reward their efforts to help protect the environment.
