Abstract

In this paper, a new business model has been proposed to lunch the wind power business by participating a large number of people. And it is aimed at creating a "Green Community" by using wind energy against the global warming. The new card "GPC", i.e., "Green Premium Card" is, therefore, introduced to collect the funds from the people for making wind power stations and to return the profit and benefit to the card members. This model is collaborated by the Cardholders, Credit Card Company, Merchants, wind Power Company, Wind generator, and Electric Power Company. This scheme can be connected to some new ways, such as the mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol, environmental taxes (or, carbon tax, etc), and local currencies.
