Why is there no business without flaws? What type of tax appeared in Russia? Is it possible to compensate for the harm done to nature?
And we have nothing to do with it!
As they say in one proverb “If you buy eggs, then buy a shell”. In other words, in any positive phenomenon, something bad will be discovered, but the most unpleasant thing is that you can not do without it, you can only reduce its influence.
For example, a very rapid development of various types of entrepreneurial activity, such as construction, transport and the like, in addition to a positive effect, alas, at the same time have a negative impact on the environment. Of course, those who create this business try to pretend that the impact is minimal, they are interested in people ..
Getting sick? Pay!
Perhaps that is why, for example, in Russia, by decree of the government, the very concept of “negative environmental impact” was introduced into the rank of legal formulation and even economic norm. That is, in accordance with this law, each object of entrepreneurial activity from which the environment suffers must pay a specific tax every month. For all the complexity of this topic, the idea is good. And not only because the money received can be used for environmental projects, but also because now businessmen will strive to reduce the negative impact! For Green Tree, of course, they will not become an example, but the effect will most likely be!
Of course, this is not a magic wand in terms of solving problems associated with ecology. But, at least, this is a mechanism that will allow you to influence those who do not really control their negative impact on nature. Another thing is that in the country they are trying to evade all existing taxes. Most likely, this exception will not be. So it makes sense to wait for the development of the situation…
