A carbon tax will shift shift purchases to government. So unless the goal is to have one group buying less, a carbon tax won’t matter too much. Since any drops in consumption will be offset by using that new tax revenue to do and buy stuff.

If we want to buy less we need to shrink the economy, including government spend.

Personally, I’m just trying to build more things and gather more things myself. Buys less and saves money.

The money collected from the carbon tax would have to be earmarked for things that improve our ecological situation: carbon sequestration, replanting forests, buying and protecting land, etc...

That’s buying things no? Sequestration systems. Tree nurseries and all the stuff to service forests.

Buying land gives money to someone who buys stuff.
