America’s immediate and long term future depends on its ability to come to grips with, and ultimately capitalize on the challenges and opportunities respectively that these three issues present.
Carbon:
The only feasible path forward is a sustainable one. Whether the argument is for combating climate change or promoting energy security US Net Zero points towards a lifecycle balance in the production and consumption of resources. The building sector in the US accounts for 39% of carbon dioxide emissions (more than transport or industry) – so is the prime target for cuts.
However US Net Zero focuses not on the infrastructure but on the occupants – incentivizing groups in a competitive environment to use their creativity and industriousness to reduce carbon emissions collectively.
This is achieved through strategic collaborative consumption – of goods and services that will lower your carbon footprint. In turn this promotes the development of such goods and services.
US Net Zero allows the sharing of market intelligence from producers to consumers and visa versa – for 1.8 million Federal Civil Servants plus their immediate family members 18 years old and over.
Further, good sustainable habits may and carry over voluntarily outside the network producing a ‘multiplier effect’ for day to day reductions in carbon emissions and the promotion of sustainable business practices and products around the country.
The deficit:
On November 29th, 2010 President Obama announced a two-year pay freeze for civilian federal employees, projecting a saving of $5 billion over that period – but against a $1 trillion+ deficit … a very small step in a polarizing environment. However it has been calculated that over 10 years the savings would amount to $60 billion.
Taken as a case study the implication is that given time, the rate of savings increases.
Salaries:
US Net Zero provides an opportunity for all civilian federal employees to achieve entrepreneurial rewards while maintaining their stable source of income.
A yearly cash bonus is awarded at a level limited only by the imagination and capability of the network participants.
