" In 2008, the author Saci Lloyd published The Carbon Diaries. A YA novel, set in the near future in the UK, with the government being the first nation to introduce carbon dioxide rationing, in a drastic bid to combat climate change. The characters in the story each have a plastic credit card that holds their individual carbon credit and the card must be used for all daily activity, whether for transport, using a digital device or buying food".
