Yeah, I keep wondering when I last used a plastic bag. These days it's either prepackaged, directly in the shopping bag or a paper bag.

There are ways around that so they're are no cash transfers. Let's say we give evey citizen emissions rights each month, that allows you to release a certain amount of CO2 (and other stuff). We've got AI and automation for measuring, accounting and detecting cheating. If you're rich and want to fly that private jet, buy emission rights for it, from people that have some unused.
From there on it's just the market taking over. Live frugal and clean means you got yourself an income. Love to travel to the other side of the planet every weekend? Pay up. And it keeps pollution in check.
That would mean:
-
Rotating habitats, up to entire cities rotating, to generating additional gravity
-
Pressurized buildings, so you´ll be living inside your entire life.
-
Living underground.
But if you like living in an underground city, you can build one on Earth too. It would be a good proof of concept before doing the same on another planet.
Probably realizing that Democrats can now trace who bought MAGA hats and they too have guns.
