For quite a while now Australia has been talking about adopting a carbon tax; but will it be a good option to decrease our carbon emissions?

Although this measure can have impact about the country's economy, it should allow Australians - and especially businesses - to be more eco friendly, and to contribute to a Green Australia.

The Earth's reservoir of fossil fuels is running out, and climate change impacts won't manifest for many years to come, but putting off starting to change our ways will cost more in the long run.

Earth's future is our challenge, with or without carbon tax, we have to act NOW.
