On December 31st 1922, the French Governmental Decree named Code de la Route created the Permis de Conduire in order to attempt to limit the ever-growing number of traffic-related fatalities due to drivers’ misconduct. Using the same concept and to mitigate consumption misbehaviour leading to record-high temperatures and number of floods, the Governmental Decree ”Permis de Consommer” (Consumption License) was implemented in March 2036.

How would you feel if your access to public services, social benefits, voting, travel, and other aspects of your life depended on your environmental behaviour?
