Carbon has a price.

Put a price on carbon pollution and make the polluters pay for the damage they are doing to our environment.


"We need to put a price on carbon to sharply diminish the amount of carbon pollution in our atmosphere and encourage innovation in sustainability. Carbon dioxide is one of several heat-trapping greenhouse gases emitted by humans. The scientific consensus is that human-induced greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of global warming, and that carbon dioxide is the most important of these gases. A carbon tax would be a cost effective way to hold the biggest polluters accountable for their actions, and we could use this tax to help the people impacted by the pollution the most - the poor. A number of countries have already implemented carbon taxes or energy taxes that are related to carbon content."
