I think that funds would best be used to ensure less environmental damage from our actions, such as reducing particulates in the air, more recycling and better land use.

Obviously individual action(s) (on carbon emission) alone will make little impact....the key thus is numerous (individual) actions (in concert) towards COLLECTIVE action that will ultimately make the difference.
