Imposing green taxes on the carbon content of fuels will help ease the pressure on our environment. If the federal government could propose stricter carbon laws that would impose taxes on carbon-emitting fuels or resources that have a significant impact on the environment, it would help change the way big business operates today. today. Given our nation's great appetite for natural resources and, even as it complements the continued destruction of the environment, the United States is one of the largest polluters. Our government can set a standard for how businesses should pay for their environmental impact. Energy taxes will drive the real cost of resources and the innovation of new technologies that will reduce emissions. The United States does not have a formal carbon tax that the federal government imposes on its citizens or large businesses. States take care of this and tax the efficiency with which a car must drive based on its “footprint”. (1) Since 1970, automobile manufacturers have been able to produce new engines that are much lighter and stronger, as well as fuel-efficient engines, capable of operating for many years. Does this affect the price of fuel? Yes, that's true and it affects the price at the pump for consumers for a while. But in turn, it takes scientists back to the drawing board to find better and new ways to burn fuel, break down metals and even strengthen alternative composites. Before 1990, lead was used in fuels to lubricate and cool the engine. Fuel is rated based on its octane rating. Most of us understand it as regular, unleaded, and premium unleaded gasoline, but octane has a numerical value and in the United States, 3 different ratings. Octane number can be referred to as the flash point at which a fuel will burn and the efficiency with which it burns cle...... middle of paper ......the ? This makes no logical sense. Hawkens believes that businesses are moving toward a transformation that will result in disorder or a transformation in which businesses accept their role in the world, transform, and undertake the restorative process of change. Green taxes are just the beginning; the thinking and lifestyle of how a business should operate must be rooted in environmental improvement. Instead of passing high costs on to the consumer, these will be renewable resource options; it will not be waste dumped into rivers, but waste sold to another company for their consumption and profit. It may happen that companies in this country adopt a policy for these types of taxes, that the United States be an example of change so that the rest of the world can understand its impact on the environment and follow suit. This planet is the only one we have, now is the time to act.
