Climate change is not a new problem, and imposing a carbon tax isn't a new idea.
The purpose of this petition is to make businesses aware of how their energy usage increases the amount of pollution they produce. The intent is to reduce the amount of pollution, specifically carbon dioxide, released into the environment. The tax will encourage businesses to improve their facilities to reduce pollution. This will the also bring revenue into the government, raise pollution awareness, and increase the air quality of the entire world. The result of improved air quality will benefit all people by reducing respiratory health issues.
