Domestic and commercial reduction of energy consumption
is converted to point equivalencies; greenhouse gas
emissions reduction incentives encourage citizens to reduce
consumption voluntarily. The program’s 22,519 participant
households reduced CO2 emissions in the period by 1067
metric tons (the equivalent of 380,000 pine trees). Incentives
granted totaled US$ 16,920.
