Letter to the editor: There is one simple first step to creating a carbon-neutral world | Little Village

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : What many of us don't know is that there is one simple first step that can get us moving immediately on the path to being carbon-neutral (that is, making no net contributions to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere), a step that will be more effective than any other single policy or regulation.
47% : If this carbon price includes a so-called border correction (which means that goods from countries that do not have an equivalent carbon price have added tariffs) we will be pressuring other countries to do their part.
45% : And this would still be true if some of the fees were redirected to, for example, help retrain coal miners or assist farmers who are unable to pass their increased costs on to the consumer.
