Talk:Meat tax

Compared to carbon tax
Some articles hint that meat (and other dairy products) taxing would reduce GHG emissions far lower than carbon taxes would (cabon taxes being taxes only on fuels). For instance, the PETA article mentioned that "A University of Chicago study even showed that you can reduce your carbon footprint more effectively by going vegan than by switching from a conventional car to a hybrid."

Also, the figures mentioned here (which I found via a treehugger article) look impressive.

Perhaps we can compare the 2 taxes briefly in this article ? It shouldn't be a competition since both taxes are obviously best implemented, but I think it's important to have a brief comparison.

Meat tax revenue used for ?
Although there are no meat taxes levied by countries yet, it seems like each country government will be free to decide what to do with the revenue of the carbon tax. So, it would be entirely possible that the revenue is used for pointless activities (i.e. in Denmark, carbon tax money collected from the tax goes to "research for alternative energy resources"), and in some cases it could go even to activities that damage the environment (i.e. building more roads, unnecessary infrastructure, ...).

Revenue of the carbon tax should, at least partly, be used to completely offset the amount of carbon on which the tax is levied.

I would assume that I'm not the only one that thinks that, so perhaps this can be implemented in the article somewhere. KVDP (talk) 07:06, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
