  Examining the options for restoring our planet to health, this book explains how it is possible to provide the energy and goods the world needs without depleting the natural resources. The authors conclude that partially replacing income taxes with environmental taxes is the key to the quick transformation of our unsustainable economy into one that is sustainable. Such green taxes would add charges to the burning of fossil fuels, the use of non-recyclable materials and the discharge of toxic wastes while generating income for environmentally sound development.
