Continuing on
from comparing the subject matters covered in reviews of sports apparel and
sports vehicles. When you drive a car the amount of tax you pay is affected by
the stated emissions for that vehicle. Higher polluting vehicles are banded in
higher tax brackets for business mileage. You also have to pay congestion
charges to drive higher polluting cars in cities. However, if you drive very
low emission vehicles you are exempt from these taxes. How about rolling this
concept out onto other consumer products, to encourage more environmentally
friendly manufacturing?
For example if
you wear low emission sports apparel (LESA) you could have a reduction in the fees
you pay to play sport and a reduction in ticket prices to watch sporting
events.
There are ways
to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 emissions when manufacturing apparel.
Imagine paying
less to play around of golf if you wear a low polluting polo shirt or pay less to
watch a golf tournament as a spectator if you wear LESA.
Electronics
could be embedded into apparel to prove and differentiate low emission sports
apparel.
