In the light solving the world hunger problem and of world population
reaching like 20 billions, it would be very important how we choose to
spend our carbon points.

For example, driving to work with an electric train would contribute to CO2
production much less than 100 people driving each in his or her own car.
That should be reflected in carbon points, as money is so easily printed
and probably also digitally issued out of control that it would be way too
devalued and meaningless.

In the theory of Mr. Karl Marx, the value that a worker (physical, intellectual,
or spiritual) invests in the process of production is his or her time, work,
skills and knowledge. It is obviously more productive for the society than
lazing in bed, or spending the time in alcohol and narcotics (possibly cheap
synthetics).

The reward system should allow honest compensation for honest work,
in terms of food, water, clothing, housing, transportation, ... leisure and
recreational resources.

In light of this, galactic credits and carbon points would be much more
efficient measures of worth than supply and demand - but it would also
be defeated i.e. when a seller is having a stock of high production cost
items which nobody will buy at its production cost - a discount would seem
reasonable.

Fair cost of materials, labour and energy and environmental impact should
be included in the cost of production: how much it really costs to keep the
population thriving from the kindergarten and school to the palliative care.
How much does it cost to clean up after the facility and the packaging of
the product like waste plastics - all should be included into the market price.
At which many cheap products might not be so cheap any longer, but
the Earth could survive 20 billion people.

Fields fertilised with natural fertilisers as swap crops, stable manure or
volcanic ash might bring better yield without GMO use or extensive use
of insecticides, herbicides and pesticides.

This would solve two problems: obesity pandemic in developed countries
which is caused by eating too many empty calories devoid of nutrients,
because the crops are genetically selected or engineered to produce
high starch yield rather than nutrients. Second is malnutrition from hunger,
because fairly distributed healthy and nutritious food with lower transportation
cost and higher nutritious value would satisfy the needs of the poor and
the needy without creating huge starvation bellies from eating low
nutrition foods on an empty and nutrient deprived metabolism.

REVIEW

The article you shared discusses the importance of considering carbon points and the efficient allocation of resources in the context of solving world hunger and a growing global population. It suggests that transportation choices, such as using electric trains instead of individual cars, can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and should be reflected in carbon points.

The article also references Karl Marx's theory of value, highlighting the idea that the value a worker contributes to production is based on their time, work, skills, and knowledge. It argues that a reward system should provide fair compensation for honest work, including basic necessities like food, water, clothing, housing, transportation, and leisure resources.

Furthermore, the article proposes the use of galactic credits and carbon points as more efficient measures of worth, taking into account the true cost of production, labor, materials, energy, and environmental impact. It suggests that incorporating these factors into market prices could lead to a more sustainable and equitable society.

Additionally, the article mentions the potential benefits of natural fertilizers and alternative farming practices to improve crop yield and address issues such as obesity and malnutrition. It emphasizes the importance of producing nutritious food that is accessible and affordable to all, while minimizing environmental impact.

Overall, the article explores various ideas related to resource allocation, sustainability, and addressing societal challenges like hunger and nutrition. It raises important considerations for creating a more equitable and environmentally conscious society.
