So, those $16 surely go to offsetting CO2 emissions of that car?
Maybe. But the fee mostly reduces the amount of trips done by car in the first place, causing less CO2 to be emitted in the first place, whoch is even better.
I really hope that less emitted CO2 in that ultra-low zone saves the world! 🤞
I agree with your sarcasm, these programs should definitely be expanded to more and larger areas.
I would guess that this deals with NO2 or particulate matter, not carbon dioxide. The first two have local effects.
