A Cap and Trade is a system to regulate overall pollution in a nation. First, a government designates how much pollution total can be allowed (a cap). The government then designates companies credits, or how much pollution they are allowed to emit. This is usually determined by the size, impact, and specific industry of the company. If the company doesn't pollute as much, they have extra credits, which can be traded (sold) to other corporations.
