Voluntary Carbon Tax
Voluntary Carbon Tax at Fresh Pond
Fresh Pond Meeting will create a fund for receiving money from members who
agree to paying a voluntary carbon tax. The money collected will be distributed at
regular intervals but at least once a year. Recommendations on how to distribute
these funds will be made by the Earthcare group in consultation with the people
who have adopted the voluntary carbon tax. Distributions from this fund will be to
groups that are engaged in reducing carbon usage, mitigating the effects of
climate change, working for eco-justice or educating and advocating for changes
related to climate change. Preference will be given to groups working in New
England. The recommendations will be brought to Monthly Meeting for approval
before the funds are disbursed.
