I was watching CNN a few hours ago and I saw good ol' Al Gore talk about Global Warming and some ideas on how to combat it. He also mentioned some ways on how to combat our energy crisis.
With regards to the environment, he said that one idea could be the imposition of tax over the pollution every individual makes instead of the imposition of tax over our salaries.
He further went on to say that if people want to have lower taxes, then we'd have no choice but to lower our pollution production. A little inspirational but, of course, there are problems attached to that idea.
One problem is the determination of the quantity of pollution every individual makes. Another is how to categorize pollution (in other words, what constitutes pollution? What if it's unintentional?).
What are your thoughts on the matter?
