Question 11

What is carbon tax? Who will pay it?

Answer

Since, industries emit carbon dioxide to a great extent, to check them, they must be asked to pay carbon tax.

This tax can be calculated on the basis of carbon emission from the industry, number of employee hours and turn over of the industry.

This will encourage the industry to use energy efficient offices and to avoid the travelling of it's employees by having tele-conferencing.
