'Get paid to reduce your emissions'.  The host for this episode is Mitch Ewan.  The guests for this episode are Paul Bernstein and Susan Gorman-Chang.

Why CFD?
Our house is on fire. To put out this fire, we need to reduce emissions quickly, effectively, and fairly. 

What is CFD?
Carbon Fee and Dividend can be likened to a 3-legged stool - 1) Fee placed on fossil fuels, 2) dividend returned equally to households, and 3) a border adjustment to protect US competitiveness.

What is being done locally?
There is increasing attention to CFD locally. During this legislative session, we had 4 CFD bills introduced and while they did not progress through all committees, they have increased the awareness of our legislators about the potential that pricing has on the mitigation of emissions. Last legislative session, there was just one CFD bill.
