Canadian Greens Lead Way and Propose Carbon Tax
02/28/2007 by Daniel Rosenblum
Friends of the Earth - Canada and Corporate Knights Magazine provided a model for United States environmental groups on Feb. 28 by releasing a detailed plan for climate protection that includes a carbon tax. As stated by Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights Editor-in-Chief and Friends of the Earth-Canada Board Member. “Our climate protection plan is unique and compelling?it taxes carbon emissions, and uses the funds to mobilize a massive redeployment that would trigger Canada’s green industrial revolution.” While the Carbon Tax Center recommends progressive tax-shifting or a rebate in the United States, we defer to our friends in Canada as to what makes more sense in their country. Congratulations and good luck!
