Australia's carbon tax means that factories and industries that pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide have two choices.

  1. They can buy permits that allow them to keep pumping out CO2, or
  2. They can change their industries to slow the CO2 and so cut their payments.

The carbon tax will actually help the environment, as it will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, reducing the levels of greenhouse gases and slowing global warming.
