Taking an average of 25 mpg and 20 pounds of CO2 per gallon burnt, riding a bike 25 miles should earn 20 carbon credits. This is like bitcoin and time dollars. A system of reliably recording a cyclist mileage could be used to verify the value of these potential units of exchange. So the grant could be to develop the "system" that will allow any cyclist to earn credits for doing the correct and socially responsible thing.

Hello Friends,
We are in the process of applying for a grant and want to make a case that we contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions and reduction in car use. Does anyone have experience or ideas about how we might be able to measure our impact on that specific issue?
Cheers,
Amanda
