Celsias.com Will Pay You To Save Energy

Celsias.com will be the world's first website that pays users to save energy. The site is expected to go live in early 2007.
How does it work you ask? Listen to the Nick Gerritsen, the site's director:
“You can create a carbon footprint for your home, your business, your community group or any other entity. You can then create carbon credits for yourself by learning how to reduce your energy use and by using our search service to find more energy-efficient products and services. You can then put your carbon credits on the Celsias.com trading system and when someone buys them, you get paid. It’s that easy.” [Scoop.co.nz]
The true warriors of climate change won't trade their credits either, but instead hoard them. The more your hoard, the less carbon can be released by law into the atmosphere. It's unclear if people around the world will be able to use it, but they suggest that users trade internationally so it sounds like you can. It's an interesting idea… I hope it works.
