Is it Possible to Add an Incentive to Going Green?

   So, I've been thinking about a lot since my last post, Are We Bleeding Out our Environment, and I feel that one way we could reduce the damage, and start to end the bleeding out is a way add an incentive into going green. But in order to sway people to do something, and to give them a reward for doing that, one must first decide what they are actually going to do. Would it make sense to make a new trend featuring green technology for my generation? Should the government create a monetary reward to people who start using more environment friendly appliances, and travel? I don't think that a large group of people will go green simply because they want to, and it's the right thing to do. I think people will go green, when and if, it is trending, and there can be a more groupthink around it as to individual thinking about it. Facts are great, but incentives are better. What are some possible ideas as to what can be done to incentivize going green?
