"For only $59 a year, Queenslanders can now fully offset the greenhouse gas emissions from their family sedan under a new Bligh Government program. Climate Change and Sustainability Minister Kate Jones and Transport Minister Rachel Nolan launched the ‘Reverse the Effect’ program during the Queensland Climate Change Summit at Parliament House. Ms Jones said the $4.5 million voluntary program involved the State Government providing matching dollar-for-dollar contributions so that motorists only needed to pay half the amount to fully offset their vehicles. “Through this new program, the Bligh Government is showing true leadership in tackling climate change,” Ms Jones said."
