> Right, and who do you think will pay for this new tax?

Consumers, of course, but not indirectly, with such a diluted notion of responsibility as it is now (by paying for externalities through general taxes). It will be priced into the products, as it should be.

This way products that are "greener" will be cheaper and people will have an incentive to buy them.

I have no problem with companies profiting off of the products they sell, or end customers paying for the actual cost of the product. It's just that a market without externalities having a price tag isn't a well-designed "free market".
