Ecological Tax Reform

Ecological Tax Reform (ETR) is a policy approach that aims to promote environmental sustainability by adjusting the tax system. It involves taxing activities that harm the environment, like pollution and resource depletion, while reducing taxes on things that benefit society, such as labor and income. The goal is to encourage businesses and individuals to adopt eco-friendly practices and technologies. By making polluting activities more expensive and sustainable choices cheaper, ETR seeks to foster a healthier planet while maintaining economic growth and job creation. This approach aligns economic incentives with environmental protection.
