Payer pour polluer ? Autant bien le faire | Pierre-Olivier Pineau | TEDxHECMontréal
FR/
Nous pensons souvent que les solutions environnementales coûtent plus cher, alors que dans certains cas nous payons plus cher pour polluer. En transport, c’est particulièrement le cas : c’est une grande source de gaz à effet de serre, et nous dépensons des sommes énormes pour polluer et, évidemment, nous déplacer. Des solutions existent pourtant pour se déplacer à moindre coût. Une approche pour inciter les individus à mieux organiser et choisir leurs transports est la taxe kilométrique. C’est une manière de payer pour la route qui nous permettrait d’optimiser nos décisions. Des gains économiques sont à portée de notre main, tout en réduisant notre pollution.EN/
We often think that environmental solutions cost more, while in some cases we pay more to pollute. In transportation, this is particularly the case: it is a major source of greenhouse gases, and we spend huge amounts of money to pollute and, of course, to travel. However, there are solutions to get around at a lower cost. One approach to encourage individuals to better organize and choose their transport is the milage tax. It's a way of paying for the road that would allow us to optimize our decisions. Economic gains are within reach, while reducing our pollution.
