In order to stop(or giving them some lesson) the polluters,which one will be more effective,punished them(fine etc.)or reward them if they don't pollute the environment?

Answer 1

The whole three together .

Answer 2

i think ..

the most soft and easy move

is by reward them

if they dont pollute the environment..

Answer 3

Both- reward those who don't and punish those who do

Answer 4

Rewards will yield greater results.

Answer 5

improve the system of reward and punishment. say if it do more good to the environment then give incentives otherwise compute for the present liability as well as the other chain adverse effects that they have done. in that way it will also it can restore what has been damage more or less.

Answer 6

Denial of a reward is a punishment.

Removal of permission to extract a resource could be called denial of reward or just punishment. It is moot how we characterize it.

If the marketplace continues to reward bad behavior then even punishment may have no effect if it is applied to all competitors. Punishment or reward have to be very well structured so as to guide the economy.

Answer 7

Zero tolerance because rewards can be abused just to get the reward...at least with showing zero tolerance to polluters would have more of an impact on them.

Answer 11

oh yay... another one of you... who are you referring to? what point are yoou trying to make exactly? everybody pollutes the environment on one way or another.... hey now stop breathing save some of that precious O2 for me... last time I checked the world was fine.... fanatics are the problem

people like fearmonger Al Gore fuel the machine you are driving.(ironic in a way) He wanted to inplicate a carbon tax on americans to "help save our environment" aka "line his pockets" ... The latest : 3 days ago the Canadian Province of British Columbia announced its intention to implement a $10/tonne carbon tax beginning July 1, 2008. The tax will rise by $5 a year until it reached $30 in 2012.

if it happened there, where is it going to stop? Is the U.S. next? There is no scientific justification for it, so why?

Answer 12

Giving advice first is best option

Answer 13

good question

Answer 14

Create awareness first.

Warn violators (2-3 times) and then fine them if they still don't stop.

The biggest reward a person gets is knowing he/she has made the change to a cleaner tomorrow.

Answer 15

I'd say the fines would work the best.

I know this guy who would litter like crazy.  One day he threw a Mountain Dew can out the window, and sure enough he got a ticket and after paying a $200.00 fine, I've never seen him litter again.

Answer 16

No one should get a reward for not polluting. Whats next give cash to former child molesters if they don't rape any kids for a year

Answer 17

untill we the people start making the government stop polluting and start actually doing something to fix what is wrong instead of throwing money around to keep good ideas from coming to life like Tesla . you ever hear of him . and hemp. check out both then check to see how badly our trust in government has been betrayed and abused and how we stand by and pretend that there is nothing we can do about it
