Carbon tax

Despite the fact that clean and fresh air is a basic human right, breathing fresh air has become a dream. With every passing day, the country’s air quality seems like it is only getting worse, causing devastating impacts on people's health. The government needs to formulate policies to reduce air pollution on an urgent basis.

One good option is to impose carbon taxes on polluting firms and industries, encouraging them to opt for alternative sources of energy, such as solar energy, and so on. Furthermore, higher taxes on private vehicles and introducing an advanced network of bus services across the country.
