The goal behind cap and trade is to hold companies and industries that produce disproportional amounts of pollution responsible. The idea behind cap and trade is that companies that produce large amounts of pollution must either curb their emmissions or invest in a "Eco-friendly" business or industry, to offset the pollution they are creating. So cap and trade aims to equal out the amount of pollution a dirty industry (like coal) produces with environmentally-sound industries (like wind power), and halt the emission of Carbon dioxide into our atmosphere from human productions.

How does cap and trade FIGHT air pollution?

Cap and trade fights air pollution by setting a limit (cap) on total greenhouse gas emissions for specific industries. Companies are allocated or can purchase emissions allowances, which they can trade among themselves. This creates a financial incentive to reduce emissions; companies that lower their pollution can sell their excess allowances to those that need more. Over time, the cap is gradually lowered, leading to overall reductions in air pollutants and encouraging investments in cleaner technologies.
