Alibaba Group President J. Michael Evans has introduced a project designed to track people’s personal “carbon footprint,” that the Chinese giant is working on, to the World Economic Forum (WEF) audience.
The intent is to have people measure pretty much their every action for “carbon footprint” and then be awarded social credit-style “carbon credits” when they behave in a manner expected of them by the state.
That includes monitoring where and how people are traveling, eating, and shopping.
