About the CFD Movement
We are a grassroots, collective action movement building awareness, support, and political will for the most effective climate policy. As students from more and more schools write to Congress and make signs, the movement is spreading through a snowball effect. We bring students together from across the country to share ideas and support each other's actions.
What is Carbon Fee and Dividend?
1. The Polluter Fee
Fossil fuel producers pay a steadily rising fee based on the climate pollution from the products they sell.
2. The Cashback Dividend
The money collected from the fee is rebated to all Americans equally to protect low- and middle-income Americans from any increased costs.
3. A Carbon Border Adjustment
This keeps the playing field level in trade, thus protecting America's competitiveness and spurring other countries to adopt carbon pricing too.
