A carbon tax is paid by industries and companies that emit carbon dioxide. This encourages them to clean up their factories and workplaces so that they become cleaner, greener, and less polluting. Reducing carbon emissions will slow global warming.
In Australia the tax is used to compensate consumers for any resulting rising prices.
