Some people believe that to reduce industrial pollution, a tax should be imposed on companies, while others believe that different measures should be taken to solve the problem. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

With the exponential progress of industrialisation, the environment has faced particular threats from industrial

waste

. A sizable number of people argue that the government should impose taxes on

companies

in order to minimise

pollution

,

while

others oppose

this

idea and call for alternatives to be taken.

This

essay will discuss the two sides and explain why I agree more with the latter view. On the one hand, environmental taxes work effectively as a measure to trace down corporations’

actions

. It is understandable why folks demand heavy taxation on

companies

since

this

activities and incentivize

companies

to adopt new ways to handle excess

waste

.

However

,

companies

may face financial hardship if the policy is implemented.

For instance

, a company must pay for hired labour, facilities, and ingredients;

therefore

, they could face bankruptcy for unintended

waste

.

Additionally

, corporations can manipulate their

waste

levels to just below the threshold to avoid paying taxes without taking actual

actions

.

Therefore

, taxation may be more appropriate as a punitive measure, not to reduce

pollution

.

On the other hand

, others believe that different measures should be considered to solve

this

urgent issue. To make sure corporations are taking practical

actions

, the government can implement regular inspections and data collection.

This

would encourage

companies

to adhere to regulations, take responsibility and stay disciplined as they are aware of being monitored. Another solution

the effort to protect the environment is enforcing factories to spare an amount of profits on habitat conservation.

This

is exemplified by the UK's requirement for industries to allocate 10% of their profits towards biodiversity conservation, which directly contributes to reducing

pollution

as well as

ensuring a functioning economy with corporations as the backbone. In the denouement,

while

the importance of taxation is undeniable, it is better for punishments to be tailored based on one’s financial situation and

environmental implications. To achieve a balance between economic stability and

reduction, I believe that governments should explore alternative solutions

such

as inspection and expenses on habitat conservation to encourage

companies

to be accountable for their

actions

and adopt sustainable practices.
