Undoubtedly, the environment plays a significant role in people’s daily lives. Some people might argue that companies which causing harm to the environment should pay more taxes or fine, while others do not. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their own ideas., If I were asked to choose one, however, I would like to agree with those who think that companies causing environmental problems should take their responsibility by paying taxes or fine., First of all, imposing taxes or fine to the companies can gradually prevent climate change. This is because the ultimate goal of the companies is to increase the profits and if they are imposed to pay taxes or fines for causing the environmental problems, then they will try not to make the environmental problems anymore. Let us consider the companies which are using fossil fuels in their factories. As we already know the fossil fuels are well-known energy which critically has negative impacts on the environment such as fine-dust and global warming. If the company is legally regulated by imposing the taxes of fine, then the company will reduce the amount of the fossil fuels used in the factories, which will eventually improve the environmental problems such as fine-dust and global warming. On top of that, the government can earn the money from enacting the imposing tax-law and this money can be used in several good ways. For example, the earnings from the penalties can be used to construct the infrastructures that can facilitate the citizens’ lives such as public transportation and planting more trees in the park. These kinds of action ultimately help people’ lives. To be specific, thanks to public transportation, the number of people who use their own cars for commuting will be reduced and also by planting more trees people can enjoy their free times in the park with more fresh airs. As a consequence, air pollution will be reduced and the lives of citizen will be much healthier. To sum up, I strongly believe that companies causing environmental problems should pay more taxes or fines. These tax money will make companies not use fossil energy which triggers climate change, and also can be used for the well-being of the citizens. |
